September 6, 1905, Hannover (Germany) \u2013 December 4, 1979, Walnut Creek (California, United States)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He studied Physics, Chemistry, and Philosophy at the University of Kiel (Germany). In 1925, he became the first graduate student of the new professor Hans Geiger<\/a>, with whom he conducted research on ionization and its repercussions on gases and with whom, in 1928, he invented the Geiger-M\u00fcller tube, the basis of the counter. Geiger-M\u00fcller. A vitally important device, then and now, to obtain data on radioactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1929, Geiger left the university and M\u00fcller went into the private sector, working for Siemens-Reiniger, Julius Pintsch, and Philips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After World War II, nuclear research was banned in Germany, so he began to practice as a consultant for various companies until, in 1951, he accepted a professorship at the Australian Ministry of Economy. It is in this country, after finishing the contract with the ministry, that he founded a company in which he manufactured the tubes for the Geiger-M\u00fcller counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1958, he began working in the Research Department at General Telephone & Electronics Corporation<\/em>, in Palo Alto (United States) and finally, he was employed at General Motors<\/em>, in Santa Barbara (California).<\/p>\n\n\n
