Curriculum Vitae: CV
Chicgoua Noubactep (Associate Professor) earned his PhD from the University of Freiberg, Germany, for studies on groundwater remediation using metallic iron, and received his habilitation on “Metallic Iron for Safe Drinking Water Provision” from the University of Göttingen, Germany. Noubactep’s research focuses on safe drinking water provision for households and small communities (e.g., rural), self-reliance in safe drinking water provision, and migration and mitigation of contaminants in the hydrosphere. Prof. Noubactep has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles. He is engaged in several non-governmental organisations (NGOs), including the Culture and Sustainable Development (CDD e.V.), Göttingen, Germany. Prof. Noubactep is the current mayor of the locality of Rittmarshausen in the administrative district of Gleichen (Landkreis Göttingen).
