Dr. Miller’s areas of horticulture interest include topics related to ornamental crop production—both in the greenhouse and nursery context, geophytes (or bulbs such as tulip, lilies, dahlias and iris) and general ornamental plant physiology.

Miller’s research interests include developing and expanding currently cultivated genera for landscape and garden use, such as rhubarb (Rheum). In addition, he has an interest in conducting woody plant breeding research to increase plant diversity through increased genus development and inquiry for the horticulture industry.
