Sandra Müller

Sandra Müller is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Discrete Mathematics and Geometry at TU Wien. She leads the research group on set theory and serves as Principal Investigator for the FWF START project Y1498 and the FWF international project I6087. She is also a member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and Editor for Thesis Abstracts at the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic.

Her research specializes in set theory with focus areas including:

• Inner model theory and large cardinal hierarchies
• Determinacy axioms and descriptive set theory
• Connections between determinacy and large cardinals
• Generic absoluteness and consistency strength proofs
• Wadge hierarchies and topological applications

Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on determinacy axioms, inner model constructions, and their implications for foundational mathematics. Work frequently involves collaboration and addresses open problems in consistency strength, universally Baire sets, and combinatorial set theory.

Awards and Honors:

• L’Oréal Austria Fellowship (2020)
