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 .

[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.
