Thomas Müller is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Konstanz, affiliated with the Department of Philosophy. His research explores the intersection of metaphysics, action theory, and the philosophy of science, focusing on questions about agency, indeterminism, and free will. He leads multiple projects, including collaborations on quantum machine learning, climate modeling, and the philosophical foundations of physics. Müller’s work often employs formal methods from logic and scientific modeling to address complex theoretical problems. His current projects include investigating artificial agents' creativity in scientific discovery and exploring conditional logics in branching space-times.

He holds leadership roles in the Faculty of Philosophy, serving on committees such as the Study Commission for Philosophy Programs and the Commission for Responsibility in Research. His research interests span interdisciplinary topics like quantum mechanics, AI ethics, and the philosophical implications of scientific theories. Notable recent publications include studies on quantum machine learning interpretability and the application of AI to climate modeling. Müller’s contributions bridge philosophy with cutting-edge scientific inquiry, emphasizing rigorous formal analysis and empirical relevance.
