Marcus Mueller

Marcus Müller received his Ph.D.in 1995 from the Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz, Germany working with K. Binder. After studying ring polymers with M. Cates in Edinburgh, he worked as a Feodor Lynen fellow with M. Schick (University of Washington) on polymer mixtures and fusion of model bilayer membranes. In Mainz he obtained his habilitation in theoretical physics in 1999. Before joining the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Göttingen, he was an associate professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Heisenberg fellow of the DFG. The APS awarded him the 2004 John H. Dillon Medal. In the same year he received a Lichtenberg professorship from the Volkswagen foundation. He is a fellow of the APS, an associated editor of ACS Macro Letters, a fellow of the Max-Planck school Matter to Life, and currently speaker of the division of Chemical and Polymer Physics of the Germany Physical Society. His research interests focus on computational soft and biological matter.
