The Miller Conference brings together the international community of researchers and practitioners working across the diverse disciplines of radiation chemistry, from the fundamental chemistry of ionizing radiation and reactive intermediates to applications in materials science, medicine, environmental remediation, nuclear technology, and advanced manufacturing. The conference welcomes contributions on experimental, computations, and theoretical approaches.
History of the Miller Conference in Radiation Chemistry
The Miller Conference in Radiation Chemistry is named in honour of Dr. Nicholas Miller, a pioneer in the field of radiation chemistry. Miller and Dr. R. Roberts initiated the idea of establishing a British counterpart to the American Gordon Research Conference in Radiation Chemistry (now the International Conference on Ionizing Processes (ICIP)). The inaugural meeting was originally planned for 1958 but was postponed until 1959 following Dr. Miller’s untimely death. In recognition of his contributions, the conference was named in his honour, laying the foundation for what became the Miller Trust we know today.
