Terry A. Miller

This researcher studies the spectroscopy and quantum chemistry of small reactive molecules called free radicals, using laser techniques and computational modeling to understand their electronic and vibrational structure. A major theme is understanding 'vibronic coupling' (the interaction between electronic and vibrational motion) in molecules with near-degenerate electronic states, including work on alkoxy and alkaline earth monoalkoxide radicals relevant to combustion chemistry, atmospheric science, and candidates for laser cooling of molecules. Note that a few unrelated publications on public engagement and ethnomusicology appear in the record, likely due to author-name overlap rather than this PI's own work.

Publication output was relatively high and variable between 2017 and 2021 (5-13 papers/year) but has declined noticeably since 2022, dropping to just 1-3 papers per year in 2023-2025.
