Ellen Kandeler
Ellen Kandeler (born June 16, 1957 in Berlin ) is a German biologist and agricultural scientist, particularly in soil biology at the University of Hohenheim , and heads the soil biology department in the EU project Biofector .
Live and act
After graduating from high school in Vienna in 1975, Ellen Kandeler studied biology at the University of Vienna with a diploma in 1979. This was followed in 1983 with a doctorate in chemical plant physiology at the same university. She then worked as a research assistant at the Federal Institute for Soil Management Vienna (1983 to 1995) and a university lecturer at the Institute for Soil Science and Building Geology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna and at the Zoological Institute at the University of Vienna (1987 to 1998). At the same time, he completed his habilitation with Venia legendi in 1994 for the field of soil biology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna and took over the management of soil microbiology and the research center at the Federal Office for Agriculture in Vienna (1995 to 1998) as well as representing the professorship of soil biology and soil ecology at the Agricultural Faculty of the University of Halle-Wittenberg .
In 1998 Kandeler accepted the call of the University of Hohenheim as professor for the field of soil biology at the Institute for Soil Science and Site Studies.
