Professor of Chemistry, Cornell University. William Miller received a B.S. and a Ph.D. from Duke University, and came to Cornell in 1936. During World War II, he worked at the S.A.M. Laboratories of the Manhattan Project at Columbia University on highly stable fluorocarbon polymers that would not react with uranium gas, thus making possible the separation of the fissionable isotope at Oak Ridge. After the war he returned to Cornell where he taught until his retirement in...
