Welcome to the Miller Ecology Lab!
Research
In the Miller Ecology Lab, we seek to understand how global change drivers such as climate change or habitat destruction impact interacting components of forest ecosystems. We focus on forest plants and the important biological interactions in which they take part, including pollination, seed dispersal, and herbivory.
People
Our lab is vibrant, collaborative, and ever-changing. We welcome researchers at all levels of expertise-from early-stage undergraduates to Postdocs-and with diverse perspectives and skillsets. We believe that effective, multi-level mentorship is central to generating not only high-quality research, but also creative, effective, and passionate STEM practitioners.
Teaching & Outreach
As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Akron, Dr. Chelsea Miller teaches Global Change Biology and General Ecology, among other courses. Graduate students in the Miller Ecology Lab are generally funded through Teaching Assistantships and teach a variety of Biology courses/labs at UA, such as Principles of Biology I & II.
