Prof. A.J. Müller is a Materials Engineer with an M.Sc. in Chemistry (IVIC, Caracas, Venezuela), Magna-Cum-Laude, and a Ph.D. in Physics (from Bristol University, U.K.). He was a professor at the Materials Science Department of Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, Venezuela, from 1983 until 2013. Since September 2013, he has been an IKERBASQUE Research Professor at POLYMAT and at the Department of Polymers and Advanced Materials: Physics, Chemistry and Technology, Faculty of Chemistry, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. He has co-authored more than 600 publications, of which 450 have been published in international peer-reviewed journals (indexed in the SCI). He has tutored 95 B.Sc. theses, 64 M.Sc. theses, and 30 Ph.D. theses. He has won several awards in Venezuela, including the Lorenzo Mendoza Fleury Polar Prize for basic science. In 2011, he received the international "Paul J. Flory Polymer Research Prize". Prof. Müller has given 100+ keynote, plenary and invited lectures in more than 30 countries around the world. He has achieved an h index of 67 and 17000+ citations to his publications, according to SCOPUS. Google Citations lists: h index of 74 and 20000+ citations (February 2024). His fields of interests include: polymer solution rheology, structured fluids, morphology, nucleation, crystallization, and crystallization kinetics of semi-crystalline materials and of multiphasic materials (in particular polymer blends, block copolymers, biopolymers, and nano-composites). He is one of the editors of the journal POLYMER (Elsevier).
