Stefan Müller is a Professor of Linguistics/Syntax at the Humboldt University of Berlin (German: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), and head of the German Grammar group (German: Arbeitsgruppe Sprachwissenschaft des Deutschen: Syntax), whose research focus is the empirical description of German and other Germanic languages and the theoretical modelling of these descriptive findings, the relation of this work to linguistic typology, and with the use of the HPSG framework. Because of the implications that typological findings have for different analyses of languages and linguistic phenomena, the description and analysis of non-Germanic languages also feature prominently in the programme.

Notably, many of his publications and their typesetting LaTeX code are open-access.
