Alfred Mueller
Alfred H. Mueller (born June 9, 1939 in Chicago ) is an American theoretical elementary particle physicist.
Mueller graduated from Iowa State University (bachelor's degree in 1961) and received his PhD from MIT in 1965 . He then worked as a post-doc at Brookhaven National Laboratory until 1971 . He has been at Columbia University since 1972 . He was also visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study (1975), at the Saclay Nuclear Research Center , at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara , at New York University and at SLAC .
Mueller examined, among other things, high-order perturbation theory in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and tests of QCD in "hard" scattering processes of hadrons and QCD in nuclear physics and heavy ion collisions.
In 1972 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 1988 a Guggenheim Fellow . In 2003 he and George Sterman received the Sakurai Prize for the development of QCD perturbative concepts. In 2004 he was accepted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
