Troy Miller

A research scientist passionate about overcoming biological challenges when growing plants in space, with a PhD in molecular biology. I have a keen interest in plant molecular biology, genetic engineering, energy metabolism and abiotic stress tolerance. Since mid-2024, I have been a Post-Doctoral Research Associate for the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space at the University of Western Australia. My current research focuses on overcoming microgravity induced watering challenges experienced with plant cultivation in space leading to hypoxia (low oxygen) stress. This research also applies directly in improving crop tolerance to high rainfall and flooding conditions in agriculture.
