Stefan Müller (born March 15, 1962 in Wuppertal ) is a German mathematician and currently a professor at the University of Bonn . In 1996 he was one of the founding directors of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Natural Sciences in Leipzig , where he worked until 2008.

Live and act

Stefan Müller studied mathematics at the University of Bonn , the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh , where he received his doctorate in 1990 under John M. Ball , and at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris . In 1989 he was Zeev Nehari Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and in 1990 research assistant for the Collaborative Research Center 256 at the University of Bonn. In 1994 he received a professorship at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and in 1995 at the ETH Zurich , before setting up the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Natural Sciences in Leipzig in 1996 as one of the founding directors . Since December 1, 2008, Stefan Müller has held a chair at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics , an institute at the University of Bonn. He is the spokesman for the Collaborative Research Center “The Mathematics of Emergent Effects”.

His research areas are analysis , continuum mechanics , mathematical aspects of materials science and microstructures.

In 1996 he gave a plenary lecture at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Budapest ( Microstructures, geometry and the calculus of variations ) and in 1998 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Berlin ( Unexpected solutions of first and second order partial differential equations , with Vladimir Sverak).

Honourings and prices

Stefan Müller has been a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences since 1999 and of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina since 2002 .
