Donald Miller, Ph.D., received his Bachelor of Science degree in applied physics from Xavier University. He pursued his doctorate at The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, where much of his doctoral research was conducted in the Center for Visual Science. He continued on at the Center for Visual Science as a postdoctorate. In 1996 he started a year-and-a-half appointment as a National Research Council Research Associate in Electro-Optics Sensor Technology Branch at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. He joined the faculty at Indiana University School of Optometry in 1998 and is currently at the rank of Associate Professor.
Research
Dr. Miller's research interests are in high-resolution retinal imaging, assessment and correction of ocular aberrations, ophthalmic optics, and the general application of advanced optical techniques to the eye. He is currently using technologies coined adaptive optics (AO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image non-invasively single retinal cells in subjects. His group has developed two AO retina cameras, one based on flood illumination and another on OCT. The cameras continue to be further developed while also being used to address fundamental questions about the structure and function of the retina at the microscopic level and to aide in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal pathologies.
