Maggie Hall Miller (born in 1993 or 1994) is a mathematician whose primary area of research is low-dimensional topology. She is an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She is known for work on Seifert surfaces, including a 2022 result with Kyle Hayden, Seungwon Kim, JungHwan Park and Isaac Sundberg that answered a 1982 question of Charles Livingston by constructing Seifert surfaces for a knot that remain non‑isotopic in the 4‑ball; the paper was published in 2025 in the Journal of the European Mathematical Society. Her honors include the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize (2023), a Sloan Research Fellowship (2025), and a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering (2025).
