Miller's research specializations include selenium and iodine status, dietary fatty acids and cardiovascular health, folate concentrations, and the therapeutic potential of functional foods like mānuka honey for improving symptoms and quality of life in individuals with functional dyspepsia. Key publications include 'Dietary fat and coronary heart disease: summary of evidence from prospective cohort, randomized controlled trials, and genetic association studies' (2009, co-authored with C.M. Skeaff), 'Influence of the glutathione peroxidase 1 Pro200Leu polymorphism and body mass index on selenium status' (2012), 'Minimal impact of excess iodate intake on thyroid hormones and selenium status in a New Zealand population' (2011, co-authored with C.D. Thomson), 'Serum n-3 long-chain PUFA differ by sex and age in a population-based survey of New Zealand adolescents and adults' (2010, co-authored with F.L. Crowe), and 'Percentiles for serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in New Zealand adults' (2011, co-authored with K.E. Bradbury). Recent contributions feature protocols for randomized controlled trials on mānuka honey (2025, co-authored with L. Ombasa) and an Aotearoa New Zealand diet for metabolic health and gut microbiome (2024, co-authored with S.P. Ong), as well as co-authorship on global studies like 'Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022' (2024, The Lancet). Her research informs nutritional guidelines and public health strategies in New Zealand through data from adult nutrition surveys and high-value nutrition challenges.
