Morgan Miller studied Physics (B.S.) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) from 2010 to 2014. He received his Ph.D. in the Nanoengineering department at UCSD in 2020, working with Prof. Robert Continetti. His research topic was the development of novel laboratory instrumentation for studying the impact dynamics of sub-micron particles in collaboration with both ASML and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. After graduating he joined the research groups of Dr. Stojan Madzunkov (Planetary Mass Spectrometry) and Dr. Morgan Cable (Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor) as a postdoctoral researcher. Morgan accepted a position in the Life Science Mass Spectrometry RnD group of Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2021 with the ion source development team. In 2024 he joined the group of Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar at the Max Plank Institute for the Science of Light to work on experimental development in iSCAT microscopy.
