Helmut A. Müller (acoustician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut A. Müller (born November 30, 1929 in Neuburg an der Donau ; † September 15, 2015 ) was a German expert on acoustics .

Müller was already a radio hobbyist as a teenager, after graduating from high school in Neuburg an der Donau, he studied physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich as a student of Lothar Cremer from 1949 . In 1954 he completed his studies with a diploma, where he examined the acoustics of the Munich Hercules Hall with acoustic measurements. In 1958 he took over the Munich engineering office of his teacher Cremer (who followed a call to the TU Berlin), from which the acoustical consulting office Müller-BBN in Munich emerged in 1962 , with the participation of Cremer, Manfred Heckl (who was a school friend and also a student of Cremer in Munich and Berlin was), Ludwig Schreiber and Leo Beranek von Bolt, Beranek & Newman (BBN). His engineering office Müller-BBM still exists today and has around 1000 employees. The headquarters are in Planegg , but there are around 30 companies in the international group.

In addition to his work as an engineer, he taught physics for many years at the violin making school in Mittenwald and he was a lecturer at the Technical University of Applied Sciences in Munich (he had the title of professor).

In 2005 he received the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon. In 1999 he received the Helmholtz Medal from the German Society for Acoustics .
