Dr Sara Miller is a Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry in the College of Science and Engineering. She completed her PhD at The University of Otago, New Zealand, in 2014 on the topic “Raman spectroscopy for Analytical Applications”. Dr Miller holds expertise in the application of vibrational spectroscopy to study a wide range of materials and complex systems. Vibrational spectroscopy uses non-destructive light-matter interactions to give a molecular fingerprint (spectrum) of a sample. This molecular fingerprint can be used alongside multivariate analysis methods to gain insights into a sample’s composition and structure. Examples of its use include quality control of produce, identifying counterfeit or adulterated products, disease diagnosis, identifying compositional changes associated with disease states, and studying compositional and structural changes of pharmaceutics and materials over time.
