Kristie Miller is the Challis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney and co-director of the interdisciplinary Centre for Time. She has authored seven books and published extensively in metaphysics and philosophy of time. Her academic appointments include ARC DECRA, ARC Senior Research Fellowship, and ARC Future Fellowship.
Miller's primary research interests focus on metaphysics, particularly mereology, space-time, composition, persistence, and personal identity. She examines how we conceptualize time, temporal phenomena, and the metaphysical structure of reality. Her work bridges analytic metaphysics with empirical findings from cognitive science and psychology, exploring how humans perceive and conceptualize time.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on temporal experience, time bias, and the metaphysical foundations of personal identity. Miller frequently collaborates with researchers like Alison Latham, Jonathan Tallant, and Sam Baron, producing interdisciplinary work that connects philosophy with cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience. Her publications appear in top philosophy journals including Philosophical Studies, Synthese, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
Miller has received notable recognition including the Senior Researcher Excellence Award in the 2024 FASS Research Awards and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. Her work on time bias and temporal experience has been particularly influential in contemporary philosophy of time.
As an active supervisor, Miller currently advises multiple PhD students working on topics ranging from vagueness and temporal passage to mental time travel and cultural temporalities. She has held significant research funding through Australian Research Council fellowships that have supported her extensive publication record.
Miller co-directs the Centre for Time, an interdisciplinary research hub that fosters collaboration between philosophers, physicists, psychologists, and neuroscientists studying temporal phenomena from multiple perspectives.
