Hi, I'm Zea Miller.

I teach pathbreaking courses in professional writing and artificial intelligence at the University of Florida.

I graduated from Purdue University in 2017 with a PhD in English, specializing in theory, semantics, and semiotics. Since then, I have been teaching introductory rhetoric and composition, research, and professional writing to students across Florida.

I craft solutions with beautifully intended consequences. Whether mentoring, writing, teaching, or delivering international talks, I inspire electric moments of discovery when, in an instant, I show people how to understand the world differently. I imagine possibilities laterally, consider matters multiaxially, and approach topics obliquely. At heart, I am an inspiring teacher and an iconoclastic scholar who thrives when making a difference.

At the University of Florida, I am responsible for courses in communication with data, data visualization, scientific writing, and AI Rhetoric and Culture. Relatedly, I launched the Journal of Writing and Artificial Intelligence and its annual conference.

Beyond AI in the writing classroom, my research interests include science fiction, semantics, and semiotics. My current projects include a study on destruction in science fiction, an examination of the neurocultures in science fiction, and a particular sense of truth.

I am always looking for new ways to help departments and organizations achieve their goals. Let's have a conversation about the future.
