J. Houston Miller

Over an academic career of more than thirty years, Professor Miller has applied optical spectroscopy to problems in combustion chemistry, atmospheric science, and biophotonics. In addition to his research activities, the PI has been awarded the Bender Teaching Award for Outstanding teaching and was nominated for his work in teaching science to non-STEM students for the University Honors Program. He is the recipient of the Condon Award from the Department of Commerce, A Churchill Fellowship, and a Leverhulme Fellowship. He is a visiting professor at Cambridge University and a Bye Fellow of Robinson College of Cambridge.

Erin Adkins

Erin is a fourth year Ph.D student in Chemistry. Her primary research on interest is in the development of laser diagnostics to study inception processes of nascent black carbon particles in flames. She also is participating in the development of greenhouse gas sensors for application in atmospheric monitoring. Last year, Erin was recognized with an Achievement Rewards For College Scientists fellowship. For the second year in a row, Erin won the First Place award for outstanding graduate research poster in the Physical Sciences during the annual GWU Research Days .

Michelle Bailey

Michelle is a second year doctoral student in chemistry and is the lead student on the greenhouse gas sensors development work. She has been recently selected as a winner of the Benjamin D. Van Evera Memorial Prize for effective teaching and as an Achievement Rewards For College Scientists scholarship for academically outstanding US citizens studying to complete degrees in STEM fields.
