Dr Philip Miller received his PhD. from the Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2004. Following postdoctoral research at Imperial College (2004-2007) he was awarded an EPSRC life sciences interface Fellowship jointly associated with Imperial College and Aarhus University PET Centre in Denmark (2007-2011). Philip is now a lecturer in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) radiochemistry development.

Catalysis/Sustainability and Applied Inorganics

His research interests include rapid synthetic chemistry for the preparation of short-lived radioactive carbon-11 (t1/2 = 20 min) and fluorine-18 (t1/2 = 110 min) tracer molecules for PET imaging and the application of microfluidic reactors to small scale chemical reactions, gas-liquid phase reactions and improving radiochemistry processes. He is also interested in novel ligand design for coordination chemistry, transition metal catalytic C-C coupling reactions and imaging sciences.
