Throughout her Master’s and Doctoral studies, Mueller was the recipient of numerous academic scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Her research and writings focus on the Representations of the Holocaust in Pop-Culture, Art, and Memory; Holocaust Literature; Literature as Testimony; 18th to 20th Century European Literature; Transcontinental Cultural Studies of America and Europe; and the Pedagogical Approaches to Teaching Rhetoric and Composition.

Through her teaching, Mueller hopes to introduce students to authors who may in time become their teachers, to ideas that may broaden their perspectives, and to discussions that may challenge their long-held presuppositions or help them solidify what it is that they believe.
