Muller’s research focuses on three domains: automatic processes (e.g., unconscious arithmetic, alcohol-related aggression), social comparison (e.g., intergroup dynamics, coaction effects on cognition), and statistical methods (e.g., mediation models, ANCOVA). His work often bridges embodied cognition with social behavior, using novel tasks like the Visual Approach/Avoidance by the Self Task (VAAST) to measure implicit tendencies.

Recent publications highlight cross-cultural studies on gender identity, replication efforts in psychological science, and advancements in implicit attitude measurement. His research has been published in top journals such as Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, European Journal of Social Psychology, and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
