About

Jake Miller is an active researcher in the field of active galactic nuclei (AGN), with a primary focus on continuum reverberation mapping. His work probes the size and structure of the optical continuum-emitting regions surrounding supermassive black holes, using long-term, multiwavelength photometric monitoring campaigns. Miller’s most cited paper, “Continuum Reverberation Mapping of Mrk 876 over Three Years with Remote Robotic Observatories” (2023), has garnered 19 citations and showcases his ability to leverage robotic observatories for sustained, high-cadence observations. This study provides critical constraints on the physical scale of the continuum region in Mrk 876. More recently, his 2025 work on PG 2130+099 addresses a key controversy in the field: whether observed continuum lags align with standard accretion disk models. By investigating variable lags in this AGN, Miller is helping to refine our understanding of the reprocessing physics at work. His research contributes directly to the broader effort to map the inner regions of AGN and test models of accretion disk structure, making him a promising early-career voice in time-domain astrophysics.
