Alfred Mueller

Mueller studied at Iowa State University ( bachelor's degree, 1961) and in 1965 received his doctorate at MIT. Subsequently he was a Post-Doc at Brookhaven National Laboratory until 1971. Since 1972 he has been at Columbia University. In addition, he was a visiting scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study (1975 ), at Saclay nuclear research centers, the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, at New York University and at SLAC.

Mueller examined, among other high-order perturbation theory in quantum chromodynamics ( QCD) and tests of QCD "hard" scattering processes of hadrons and QCD in nuclear physics and in heavy- ion collisions.

In 1972 he was Sloan Fellow, Guggenheim Fellow in 1988. In 2003 he received the Sakurai Prize for the development of perturbative QCD concepts with George Sterman.
