Oliver Dilly

Oliver Dilly is a Researcher, Lecturer, and Integrated EU Project Coordinator. His research is in biogeochemical Cycling, evaluation of soil quality, soil ecology, and soil microbiology, soil protection, soil technology, interactions with abiotic and biotic soil components; SENSOR - Ex-ante Impact Assessment on Ecological, Social and Economic Effects on Multifunctional Land Use in Sensitive European Regions (Postindustrial Zones, Mountains, Coasts, Islands). He gave lecture on "Biogeochemistry and soil ecology" and gave a summer school on 'Microbial Functions in Soils and Aquifiers' (Team taught), and gava a Team training on Experimental Soil Ecology. He received Diploma in 1990, from Bonn and Hohenheim University; Ph.D. degree in 1994, from Kiel University; and Habilitation in 2002, from Technical University of Munich.
