About
Dr. Steven Miller joined the Department of Oral Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences as a Clinical Assistant Professor in June of 2020. He received his Ph.D. in biological anthropology at the University of Iowa in 2010. His graduate work focused on the evolution of crainiofacial robusticity in genus Homo. He continued his training as a postdoctoral scholar at the Iowa Institute for Oral Health Research at the University of Iowa where he conducted research focused on craniofacial abnormalities such as orofacial clefts and severe dental malocclusion. Prior to joining the faculty at UIC, he was faculty in the Department of Anatomy at Midwestern University where he taught dental gross anatomy, histology, and embryology.

Research Currently in Progress
Dr. Miller is a craniofacial morphologist who studies the impact of craniofacial abnormalities and systemic issues on the shape and development of the face. His areas of interest are orofacial clefts, severe dental malocclusion, obesity and the genetic determinants of craniofacial form.
