Biography

Matthias Noll received his Diploma from University of Kassel, Germany, 2001, Ph.D. degree from Philipps-University of Marburg, Germany 2004. He worked since 2001 at the Department of Biogeochemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Marburg as phD-student and thereafter as PostDoc. From 2005 to 2006 he was PostDoc at the Department of Environmental Microbiology of the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant dynamics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Switzerland. From 2007 to 2010 he was an independent Junior Researcher at the Department Biology in Materials Protection and Environmental Issues at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin, Germany. From August 2010 to March 2012 he was a Senior Researcher at the Department Hygiene and Microbiology at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), Berlin, Germany.

Since April 2012 he is a full professor at the University of Applied Science and Arts in Coburg and finished his habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin in June 2012. In September 2014 he is an assistant professor at the University of Bayreuth.
Currently Matthias Noll teaches microbiology, microbial ecology, molecular biology and general biology at University of Applied Science and Arts in Coburg and at the University of Bayreuth. His field of work comprehend biology, microbiology and molecular biology. Therefore he is dealing with the structure and function of complex microbial communities in various environments. His research is directed towards coupling microbial diversity to abiotic and biotic key factors such as temperature, spatial organization, metabolic microbial activity, gradients of oxygen and ions. He is expert in function-identity tools such as stable isotope probing to elucidate key-players in natural and anthropogenic environments.
