Volker MÜLLER

Volker MÜLLER is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Luxembourg, Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine. His research focuses on computational and algorithmic number theory, particularly problems related to integer factorization and the simultaneous Chinese remainder problem. He is affiliated with the LACS research group and serves as the programme director for the Bachelor in Applied Information Technology and its continuous education variant.

His research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical computer science and practical cryptography. He investigates fundamental number-theoretic algorithms with applications in secure computation and cryptographic protocol design. His work bridges abstract mathematical theory with real-world computational challenges in information security.

Throughout his career, he has contributed to both academic and institutional development, including the establishment of IT infrastructure at the Belval campus as manager of the Service Informatique de l’Université (SIU). He has also played a key role in shaping undergraduate education in applied IT in Luxembourg.

Volker MÜLLER began his academic journey at the University of Saarland, Germany, where he studied Mathematics and Computer Science and earned his doctorate in Computer Science in 1995. He then held postdoctoral positions at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and the University of Technology in Darmstadt, Germany, before lecturing in Indonesia from 1998 to 2005. Since joining the University of Luxembourg in 2005, he transitioned from administrative leadership back to full-time academic work in 2017.

He has no listed scientific awards in the provided text. However, his sustained contributions to research, education, and university infrastructure demonstrate a strong academic profile.

He has advised or supervised no students listed in the provided material. He was involved in a development project sponsored by the Protestant Church of Germany as a Consultant for Sustainable University Development in Indonesia and served as a scientific advisor for a proposal on an Indonesian Law on Electronic Signatures in 2004. He also led the IT infrastructure development for the Belval campus through his role at SIU.

He is a member of the LACS (Laboratory for Algorithmic, Cryptologic and Information Security) research group within the Department of Computer Science, where he conducts research in computational number theory and its applications in cryptography.
