Berndt Müller

Berndt O. Mueller (also Berndt Müller) (born 8 February 1950 in Markneukirchen, German Democratic Republic) is a German-born theoretical physicist who specializes in nuclear physics.[1][2] He is a professor at Duke University.

Life

Müller moved with his mother to Frankfurt am Main in 1953 , where they joined his father. He enrolled as a student at the Goethe University Frankfurt in 1968 and graduated in 1972. Müller received his doctorate, with Walter Greiner as his doctoral advisor, in 1973.[3] In 1974, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University and then Research Associate at the University of Washington. From 1976 he was a professor at the Goethe University Frankfurt. He has been a professor at Duke University since 1990 (since 1996 as "JB Duke Professor of Physics"). From 1997 to 1999 he was chairman of the Faculty of Physics and from 1999 to 2004 Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. He is a US citizen. He was, among other guest scientists at Caltech (1980), the University of Cape Town(1984), the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the University of Tokyo, the Yukawa Institute of the University of Kyoto and the University of Arizona (1987).

Müller is concerned with the theory of quark–gluon plasma and evidence of its formation in heavy-ion scattering experiments (via enrichment with strange quarks), but also with chaos in gauge field theories, the Casimir effect, and neural networks.
