Stefan Müller is a Full Professor of German Linguistics specializing in syntax and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) at Humboldt University of Berlin. He also held professorships at Free University Berlin and Bremen, focusing on German grammar and computational linguistics. His research spans syntax of German, Danish, Persian, Mandarin, and Maltese, with a strong emphasis on formal grammar development and theoretical linguistics.

• Education: Humboldt University of Berlin and University of Edinburgh (1989–1993); PhD (1997) and Habilitation (2001) from Saarland University.

Research interests include HPSG, complex predicates, particle verbs, and computational grammar implementation. His publications explore syntactic phenomena like depictive predicates, fronting, and resultative constructions. Müller is a member of Academia Europaea (since 2014) and leads projects on cross-linguistic grammar engineering. He teaches syntax, HPSG, and computational linguistics at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
