Guido Mueller

Professor


Education

PhD Hanover, Germany (1997)

Research Group

Institute for High Energy Physics IHEPA

Research Interest

Interests include: Terrestrial and space based gravitational wave detectors (LIGO, LISA), Interferometry
Dr. Mueller is a member of the UF-LIGO group and works on research and development for terrestrial gravitational wave detectors. His responsibilities include the input optics of LIGO and Advanced LIGO and advanced interferometer designs. He is also the US Chair of the Interferometer working group of the LISA mission, a joint NASA/ESA project to detect gravitational waves in space. His group at UF is currently developing the LISA Interferometer testbed.

Other research activities are: conducting polymers, non-adiabatic (beyond Born-Oppenheimer) molecular physics, many-electron correlation problem.
