Congratulations to Sara Miller for winning an Early Career Awards for Distinction in Research.
Currently a Senior Research Fellow, Dr Miller’s research in vibrational spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis has applications to a wide variety of materials and complex systems including pharmaceutics, hard and soft tissues, and primary produce. A more recent focus of research has been in the field of medical diagnostics with particular emphasis on multi-spectroscopic approaches for diagnosis of gastrointestinal illnesses.
Dr Miller has also led two projects funded by Marsden Fast-Start and MBIE Smart Idea grants and is a Principal Investigator in Te Whai Ao – Dodd-Walls Centre of Photonic and Quantum Technologies.
In 2022, she was the inaugural recipient of an Early Career Researcher Award from the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry.
“Thank you to the fantastic people I have worked with at Otago University, Te Whai Ao – Dodd-Walls Centre and abroad for the opportunities and support provided,” Dr Miller says.
