Delia Milliron is the Department Chair and Professor at the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, within the Cockrell School of Engineering. She holds the Bill L. Stanley Endowed Leadership Chair and Ernest Cockrell, Sr. Chair in Engineering. Her research focuses on nanocrystal synthesis, electrochemical materials, and energy-efficient technologies, particularly smart windows and plasmonic systems. She has pioneered work on colloidal nanocrystals and their integration into functional nanomaterials.
Education includes a Postdoc at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (2004–2005), Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from UC Berkeley (2004), and A.B. in Chemistry and Materials Science from Princeton (1999). Her research group explores nanocrystal-based optical and electronic devices, with applications in energy and environmental sustainability.
Key awards include the MRS Medal (2023), NSEF Forum Award (2023), ACS Inorganic Nanoscience Award (2019), and multiple R&D 100 Awards. She co-founded Celadyne, a hydrogen technology startup. Her work has been featured in journals like *Nature Materials*, *ACS Nano*, and *Science Advances*, with over 150 publications.
Advising and grants emphasize training the next generation of materials scientists, with over 20 students and postdocs mentored. Current projects include advanced electrochromic materials, plasmonic metamaterials, and sustainable energy systems. She leads the Milliron Group, affiliated with the Texas Materials Institute and an NSF MRSEC.
