Noll received his doctorate in mineralogy from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 1930 . In 1937 he received his doctorate in chemistry from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . He was a chemist at Bayer AG in Leverkusen and headed silicone research there for two decades. Noll was also honorary professor for mineralogy and petrography at the University of Cologne . After his retirement, he mainly dealt with ancient ceramics and pigments.
