I am a professor of Biology and Biomedical Engineering at Louisiana Tech. Dr. Mills’ primary research interests are in developing micro- and nanoscale technologies with an emphasis on biomedical applications. A major research focus is the development of a controlled-release molecular signaling system using layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and cellular-architecture fabrication techniques. Dr. Mills has supervised over 45 undergraduate research students, 22 PhD students in engineering, 18 MS students in Biological Sciences, 2 MS students in Chemical Engineering, 17 MS students in Biomedical Engineering, and 16 MS students in Molecular Science and Nanotechnology.
