His research focuses on the intersection of blockchain technology, supply chain management, and decentralized finance systems. With a publication record spanning from 2008 to 2025, his work demonstrates a significant evolution from materials science applications to cutting-edge blockchain implementations.

Miller's research interests center around blockchain technology applications in supply chain traceability, decentralized finance instruments, and e-commerce security systems. His work particularly emphasizes practical implementations in food supply chains, with multiple case studies focused on the Australian beef industry and livestock export sector. He has developed innovative approaches combining organizational theory with technical blockchain implementations, particularly through integrating the REA (Resource-Event-Agent) accounting model with multisignature architecture.

His publication portfolio reveals a strong trend toward solving real-world business problems through blockchain technology, with particular emphasis on cross-border trade barriers, consumer trust mechanisms, and governance frameworks that bridge on-chain and off-chain systems. The progression of his research shows increasing sophistication in addressing both technical and organizational challenges in implementing blockchain solutions.

Miller has established a robust collaborative network, frequently publishing with researchers including Shoufeng Cao, Marcus Foth, Warwick Powell, and Xavier Boyen. These collaborations span multiple disciplines, connecting information systems with business, agriculture, and international trade perspectives.
