Dr. Kate C. Miller is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Texas at Arlington, where she also serves as Vice President for Research and Innovation. She holds a B.A. from Princeton University (1982), M.S. from Stanford University (1988), and Ph.D. from Stanford University (1991). Previously, she held academic and administrative positions at University of Wyoming, Texas A&M University, and University of Texas at El Paso.
Her research focuses on the application of active-source seismology to understand the origin and evolution of continental lithosphere, earthquake mechanisms, and environmental hazards. She has conducted extensive fieldwork across North America, Europe, and Japan, investigating crustal structure, tectonic processes, and geohazards.
Dr. Miller's publications demonstrate a consistent focus on crustal structure analysis, seismic methods development, and geoscience education. Her recent work emphasizes integrating seismic techniques for tectonic reconstruction and hazard assessment, while earlier research explored educational interventions to increase diversity in geosciences.
She has received significant recognition including Geological Society of America Fellowship (1997), Chancellor's Council Teaching Excellence Award (1991), and Sigma Xi membership (1982). She has led multiple NSF-funded projects including the EarthScope Bighorn Project.
While currently not mentoring students due to administrative responsibilities, she previously advised graduate students on seismic interpretation projects. Her $10.8M grant portfolio includes projects on HEERF institutional support and Blackstone LaunchPad entrepreneurship initiatives.
She led programs for underrepresented minority recruitment in STEM fields and collaborates with national consortia on geoscience education reform and curriculum development.
