Michael Schindler is a Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Manitoba. He earned his PhD in Mineralogy from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1997. His research focuses on nano-scale processes in environmental transport of metals, metalloids, and nanoparticles. Schindler's work investigates mineralogical processes in confined pore spaces, including the interaction of bacteria with mineral surfaces and the mechanisms of mineral dissolution. He has published several significant papers on topics such as the transport and coarsening of gold nanoparticles, and the formation of iron-hydroxides in volcanic regolith found on Earth and Mars. His key interests also include the occurrence and formation of incidental metallic nanoparticles in organic-rich contaminated soils. Through these studies, Schindler contributes to understanding soil formation processes and the environmental implications of nanoparticles. His teaching includes courses on inorganic geochemistry and hydrogeology, where he disseminates his expertise to students in the field.
