Steffen Müller

Steffen Müller is an Associate Professor in the Department of Algebra at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Groningen. His research focuses on arithmetic geometry, particularly explicit methods in diophantine geometry. He holds a PhD from Universität Bayreuth (2010) and has held positions at the Universität Hamburg (Postdoc, 2010–2013) and Universität Oldenburg (Juniorprofessor, 2014–2017).

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics, Universität Bayreuth, 2010
• Postdoctoral Research, Universität Hamburg, 2010–2013

Research Interests: Müller specializes in arithmetic geometry, with a focus on quadratic Chabauty methods, p-adic adelic metrics, and explicit computation of arithmetic invariants. His work bridges theoretical insights with algorithmic developments, as evidenced by contributions to open-source software like GitHub repositories for number-theoretic computations.

Awards:

• Selfridge Prize (2016), awarded for contributions to number theory.

Grants & Projects:

• Rational points: new dimensions (NWO-XL grant, 2023–2028)
• Global points via locally analytic functions (NWO VIDI grant, 2019–2024)

Labs/Teams: Collaborates actively with researchers in number theory and algebraic geometry, contributing to international projects like the Quadratic Chabauty initiative and computational tools for arithmetic geometry.
