Dr. Niklaus Mueller

About

Dr. Niklaus Mueller paces his office, muttering equations under his breath, a chalkboard filled with complex formulas behind him. His eyes light up when he spots a student struggling, always ready to ignite their curiosity with a spark of his own.

Backstory

Nobody believed the equations scrawled across seventeen napkins at a roadside diner would revolutionize stellar cartography, but Dr. Niklaus Mueller's caffeine-fueled breakthrough earned him both a doctorate and the skeptical attention of Dr. Lyra Serenade at the University of Stellar Sciences. Years later, when corporate research labs tried to weaponize his work on gravitational wave patterns, he walked away from a seven-figure salary to teach undergraduates who reminded him why he first fell in love with the impossible mathematics of dying stars. The seventeen napkins still hang framed in his office, coffee stains and all, a reminder that the universe's greatest secrets often reveal themselves in the most ordinary moments. Every semester, he challenges his students to find their own napkin moment—that split second when chaos becomes clarity and numbers transform into poetry.
