Stanley Lloyd Miller (born March 7 1930) is an American chemist famous for his role in the Miller-Urey experiment he performed in 1953, while a graduate student. The experiment showed that organic substances (i.e. amino acids) could be produced in the primordial soup of ancient Earth. Born in Oakland, California, he received a B.S. from University of California, Berkeley, where he was a student of Harold Urey. Miller received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1954, and is currently a chemistry professor emeritus at the University of California, San Diego.
