Glen P. Miller is Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science, Director of the Materials
Science Program and Associate Director of the NSF funded Nanoscale Science and

2. Engineering Center for High-Rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN), all at the University of
New Hampshire. He is an authority in the area of nanostructured carbons including
fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and large acenes. His group has successfully
synthesized and characterized many nanostructures and organic compounds including
C3v C60H18, bis and tris-[60]fullerene adducts of large acenes, hydrogenated SWNTs,
fullerene nanotubes (a.k.a., fullerene nanowhiskers), photooxidatively resistant pentacene
derivatives, an exceptionally persistent heptacene derivative, and most recently a
persistent nonacene derivative. He also developed a new, tip-based nanopatterning
technique called FAN (Field-Assisted Nanopatterning) that has been demonstrated on
organic compounds, polymers, fullerenes, metals, salts and nanoparticles. In addition to
his research activities, Glen Miller directs nanotechnology outreach activities for NH's K-
16 teachers and students including an annual Nanotechnology K-12 Teachers
Conference, laboratory experiments for K-12 students, REU and RET programs.

nanotechnology area can be seized upon, providing benefit to new and existing NH based
businesses.
