Jörg Matschullat

Senior Fellow

Jörg Matschullat is a Senior Fellow at the Irving Institute for Energy and Society, working on the energy transition in New England and beyond.  Before joining the Institute, he served as the Vice-Rector for Research at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF) in Germany.  Prior to this, he was chairing Professor for Geochemistry and Earth System Science, Director of the Interdisciplinary Environmental Research Center, Dean of the Faculty of Geosciences, Geoengineering and Mining, and Dean of Studies for Geoecology and Environmental Geosciences at TUBAF. Before his appointment at TUBAF, Jörg Matschullat was Assistant Professor in Geochemistry at the TU Clausthal, Germany, and Assistant and Associate Professor in Geochemistry at the University of Heidelberg, Germany.
 
Dr. Matschullat is a highly published researcher (more than 118 peer-reviewed articles, 20 books, and 57 book contributions) and an expert on research around air, soil, and water quality and human health in Brazil, as well as other parts of the world. He has been highly engaged in regional climate change studies in Brazil and in Europe, spearheading efforts related to climate change and the energy transition in Saxony, Germany.
 
Jörg received his MSc in Geology and Paleontology from the University of Tübingen and his Dr. rer. nat. in Geochemistry from the University of Göttingen, Germany. He has held various guest professorships at The University of Akita, Japan; The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; and at the State University UNICAMP in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil. He has also been an Elected Member of the Leibniz-Societät (Academy of Science), Berlin, and serves on the Humbolt Board.
