biography

Müller, the son of a commercial director, studied physics and chemistry at the University of Graz , where he received his doctorate in electrochemistry in 1920. In 1923 he completed his habilitation in Graz (1926 also at the TH Graz) and in 1927 became associate professor. From 1929 he was a professor at the Montanist University in Leoben, where he was National Socialist Lecturer League Leader, and from 1940 full professor for chemical technology at the TH Graz (as successor to the dismissed Gustav Jantsch ). He was also a storm leader in the NSFK . After the war, due to his National Socialist past, he was unable to return to college. In 1948 he was retired. He died in an accident in 1951.

He was a representative of German chemistry , whose holistic, morphological ideas applied both to the periodic table and to biology. He saw tendencies in both areas towards specialization (alkali elements) and towards the greatest possible versatility (hydrogen, carbon).
