Curriculum vitae of Walter Noll Walter Noll was born on January 7, 1925 in Berlin, Germany. He had his primary and secondary education in a suburb of Berlin. In 1946, he began his studies of Mathematics at the Technical University of Berlin. He also took courses at the Humboldt University and the Free University. He spent the academic year 1949/50 as a foreign student at the University of Paris and obtained there the degree of Licencié ès Sciences. In 1951 he obtained the degree or Diplom-Ingenieur (in Mathematics) at the Technical University of Berlin. He then started as Wissenschaftlicher Assistant (instructor) at the Lehrstuhl für Technische Mechanik (Institute for Engineering Mechanics) at the Technical University, a position he held for four years. On leave during the academic year 1953/54, he went to Indiana University in Bloomington, where he received a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in 1954. His thesis advisor was Clifford Truesdell. (In fact, he was the first of Clifford Truesdell doctoral students.) In the fall of 1955 he immigrated to the US and spent a year at the University of Southern California. In 1956 he joined the Mathematics Department at Carnegie Mellon University (then known as Carnegie Institute of Technology). He retired from teaching there in 1993 and is now professor emeritus. Walter Noll has served as a visiting professor for a month or more at the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Karlsruhe, the Israel Institute of Technology, the école Polytechnique in Nancy, the University of Pisa, the University of Pavia, and Oxford University.
