In 2016, he received his law degree at the University of Warsaw, where he studied as part of the College of Inter-area Individual Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences.[4] From 2010 to 2012 he served as the Chairman of the Student Government Board at the University of Warsaw. From 2013 to 2014, he was President of the Students’ Parliament of the Republic of Poland.[5][6] From 2010 to 2014, Müller was a member of the Senate of the University of Warsaw, where he sat on the Budgetary and Finance Commission and the Legal and Statute Commission.[7][8] He was a member of the Disciplinary Committee for academic teachers’ affairs at the General Council of Science and Higher Education[7][8] and served as an expert at the Polish Accreditation Committee,[7][8] while in the years 2013–2014, he also belonged to the board of this Committee.[7][6] From 2012 to 2016, he was a member of the Board of the University of Warsaw Foundation.[7] Between 2017 and 2018, he taught classes at the Institute of Political Sciences at the University of Warsaw.[9][10]

He joined the Law and Justice party. In 2011 and 2015, he pursued a seat in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland from this party’s list of candidates, but did not win a seat.[11][12]

From November 2015 to April 2017, he was an advisor to Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin, and then became Director of the Minister’s Office at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.[7][8] From February 2017, he belonged to the legislative team in charge of preparing an act to reform the science and higher education system. On 15 January 2017, he became Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education;[7][8] he was entrusted with such tasks as coordinating objectives related to the government administration department for higher education, including the supervision of universities and supervision of legislative work. In 2018, he was appointed to head the science and higher education reform implementation team. He also became a member of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers and the Social Committee of the Council of Ministers.
