Overview
Background
Maximiliano Müller is a Research Fellow at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) Research Institute, The University of Queensland (UQ). Maximiliano completed his Bachelor's degree (with Honours) in Veterinary Science at The University of Chile in 2015 and his PhD in Animal Nutrition at UQ in 2021. His 4 years of research work at QAAFI have focused primarily on animal nutrition, appetite, digestive physiology, chemosensing and feed technology. In 2022, Maximiliano was awarded an Industry Placement by the Australasian Pork Research Institute (APRIL) to develop additional expertise on feed analyses and processing. He is currently involved in research projects related to transgenerational nutrition, heat tolerance, control of back fat deposition in pigs, animal welfare and feed processing. Maximiliano has also been the manager of the R&D Feed Mill project at UQ from 2022 to 2025 and is an active member of The Nutrition Society of Australia - The Animal Nutrition Special Interest Group and the QAAFI Science Seminar Committee. Maximiliano has published more than 12 peer-reviewed publications since joining QAAFI as a postdoctoral research fellow in mid 2021 to present (2025).
