Short Bio

David Miller is a PhD candidate at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  His research interests include resolution enhancement in photolithography and optical systems design.  In a past life, he worked as a design engineer at Thorlabs, and later a product engineer at Avo Photonics.  He recieved dual B.S. in Engineering Physics and Applied Mathematics, as well as the M.S. in Electrical Engineering - all from the University of Colorado Boulder.  Over the last several years, David has mentored undergraduate and high school students in the lab through the DLA, Spring Break for Research, YOURE@CU, and Science Discovery programs.  When not in the lab, David enjoys hiking, cycling, and challenging gravity by lifting heavy things. Gravity always wins.
