Об авторе

Matthias Otto is Professor emeritus of Analytical Chemistry at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany. He studied at the University of Leipzig. In 1984 he moved to Freiberg (Germany) as a lecturer and was appointed full Professor there in 1987. He has taught almost all aspects of analytical chemistry, mainly within the curricula of chemistry, applied sciences and geoecology, and organizes courses in basic and advanced chemometrics. He is author and editor of successful textbooks in analytical chemistry.
