Jochen Mueller

Principal Investigator, RA2–FA2 and RA3–FA2


Jochen Mueller is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with secondary appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. He performs research at the intersection of additive manufacturing, architected materials, and computational design. Developing new fabrication processes to enhance the structural complexity, material versatility, and throughput speed in 3D printing, Mueller’s research group combines the fabrication processes with computational tools to create or manipulate existing materials and structures to change their properties and improve their performance. In 2020, Mueller received the Lopez-Loreta Prize to conduct research on how to improve the materials used in prosthetic devices. Holding a doctorate from ETH Zurich, a master’s in mechanical engineering from Imperial College London, and a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Albstadt‐Sigmaringen University, Mueller completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University in the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering before moving to Hopkins. He received the ETH Medal in 2018 for his doctoral dissertation.
