Ole J. Müller

Ole J. Müller is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Biodiversity Theory Group at the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB), University of Oldenburg, focusing on human-ocean interactions through ship traffic analysis. Previously, he completed his PhD at HIFMB (2020-2024) and served as a Lecturer for Integrated Coastal Zone Management at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences (2020-2021).

His educational background includes:

• Double Degree Master's in Water and Coastal Management (M.Sc) and Environmental and Infrastructure Planning (M.Sc.) from Universities of Oldenburg and Groningen (2017-2019)
• Bachelor's Degree in Maritime Technology from Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences (2012-2017)

Müller's research centers on the human dimension of ocean-space, specifically analyzing ship traffic patterns to understand impacts on marine biodiversity and governance frameworks. His work integrates maritime spatial planning with conservation strategies under HIFMB's Biodiversity Change and Conservation Management research area, addressing critical human-environment interactions in ocean governance.
