Life

Mueller studied at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main , where he obtained his diploma in 1972 and obtained his doctorate in 1973 under Walter Greiner . In 1974 he was a postdoc at Yale University and then a research associate at the University of Washington . From 1976 to 1989 he was a professor at the University of Frankfurt, and from 1990 to 2013 professor at Duke University (from 1996 as "JBDuke Professor of Physics"). From 1997 to 1999 he was chairman of the physics faculty and from 1999 to 2004 dean of the natural science faculty. Since 2013 he has been Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear & Particle Physics at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island . He is a US citizen. He was visiting scholar at Caltech (1980), the University of Cape Town (1984), the Institute of Nuclear Physics at the University of Tokyo, the Yukawa Institute at the University of Kyoto and the University of Arizona (1987).

Mueller deals with the theory of the quark-gluon plasma and references to its formation in heavy ion scattering experiments (via the enrichment with strange quarks ), but also with chaos in gauge field theories , the Casimir effect and neural networks .

In 1975 he received the Röntgen Prize from the University of Giessen. In 1998 he received the Senior US Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation . In 2007 he received the Jesse Beams Award from the American Physical Society , of which he is a fellow.
