Deon Terrell Miles is an American chemist who is professor of chemistry at the Sewanee: The University of the South. His research considers the development of functionalised nanoparticles and chemistry education.
Early life and education[edit]
Miles was born in Gary, Indiana. He studied chemistry at Wabash College and graduated in 1997.[1] He won several awards for chemistry and was manager of the basketball team.[2] He delivered the commencement address.[2] He was a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he worked with Royce W. Murray and studied functionalised nanoparticles.[citation needed]
Research and career[edit]
In 2002 Miles joined Sewanee: The University of the South, where he focusses on the development of nanoparticles and novel strategies for teaching chemistry.[3] At Sewanee, Miles delivered a course on the science of food and chemistry of cooking.[4]
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Miles developed homemade kits that could be used to teach students about spectroscopy and chromatography from home.[5]
