Ann Miller
Casual - Other Teaching Staff, Continuing Studies
BioA native of the Bay Area, I studied painting and lithography at Stanford University and subsequently instructed in art at Stanford, the University of Santa Clara, San Mateo Community College, Academy of Art University, and San Francisco Center for the Book.
At Stanford I studied with Richard Diebenkorn, Nathan Oliveira, Frank Lobdell, George Miyasaki, Dan Mendelowitz, and Lorenz Eitner and am immensely grateful for the teachings of Swiss type designer André Gürtler.
I opened my M2 Design Studio in 1979 and have been designing and illustrating ever since. I offer calligraphy and lettering solutions for almost any purpose, and have produced properties for multimedia presentations such as NBC’s television series "Who Do You Think You Are?” and handlettered murals for the large walls of the City of Belmont Library. I pioneered online courses for Academy of Art University in San Francisco and developed 15 popular workshops on the calligraphic method.
I enjoy opening doors to students so that they will move forward to enjoy and use the art of markmaking. -
Christopher J. Miller
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioI am a chemist and Postdoctoral Scholar at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where my research focuses on the core challenges of electrochemical energy conversion and sustainable chemistry. Working within the DOE BETO CO2RUe consortium, I investigate the dynamic behavior of catalysts in CO₂ electrolyzers. My primary approach involves using advanced operando characterization techniques, particularly X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), to build comprehensive models that link a catalyst's atomic-scale structure to its real-world device performance.
My philosophy is that progress requires bridging fundamental science with practical systems engineering. To that end, my expertise includes the ground-up design, construction, and automation of experimental systems. I specialize in building fully integrated electrochemical test stations and gas delivery infrastructure, tailored to deliver high-quality, reproducible data with robust safety features and remote-operation capabilities. Complementing this hardware, I develop custom MATLAB software suites to automate data processing and analysis, significantly accelerating the path from raw data to actionable scientific insight.
In addition to my research, I am deeply committed to education and professional service. As a recent fellow in Stanford's Preparing Future Professors (PFP) program, I received formal training in pedagogy and gained direct mentorship experience at San Jose State University. This commitment extends to the broader scientific community through my long-standing leadership roles within the American Chemical Society (ACS), where I contribute to governance, chemical safety initiatives, and professional development for younger chemists. I am always interested in discussing new collaborations at the intersection of spectroscopy, catalysis, and system design. -

David Millman
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioDavid Millman is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford Law School. He aspires to use law, advocacy, and public policy to help communities and the people in them, particularly by addressing inequalities, climate change, and our nation’s housing crisis. David has a wide range of legal, academic, political, and nonprofit experience ranging from being a zoning district author, a state sexual violence prevention nonprofit director, a student body president, and a candidate for local office. He aims to be a housing, community development, and civil rights attorney. His work has been featured in USA Today, AP News, Yahoo News, The Week, and many regional and local publications for advocacy around housing affordability, sexual violence prevention, local government, climate change, and food insecurity.
When he was 19 years old, David for local office in Hanover, NH to solve community issues around COVID-19 and the region's housing crisis. This effort turned into a multi-year campaign around reforming zoning laws and restoring civic participation. The exposure to local government, in combination with a long-standing fight against sexual violence, has led to a law degree at Stanford University.
He has presented work in front of town councils, state legislatures, and even the UK Parliament. While at Dartmouth College, he was the first-ever male recipient of Hannah T. Croasdale Award, which is “awarded each year to the member of the Senior Class who has made the most significant contribution to the quality of life for women at Dartmouth,” due to his longstanding commitment and work against sexual violence on campus. As Student Body President, he helped lead the campaign for the implementation of free teletherapy services on campus, establish a now-institutionalized campus food pantry, and design new campus bus routes for students to get home safely — all initiatives which continue to this day. Most recently, he completed a Master’s degree at the London School of Economics (LSE) in Local Economic Development, writing a dissertation on effective strategies around empowering the homelessness in Central London. -
