Associate Professor Erik Noschka

• Biography/ Background

  Erik Noschka is originally from Germany where he undertook veterinary training at the University of Leipzig.  After staying at the university for a clinical training in Equine Surgery and serving in the NATO-Kosovo campaign as Mountain Ranger Officer and Escort Officer he moved to Athens, GA to complete a PhD in Physiology on equine laminitis under the supervision of Dr. James N. Moore at the University of Georgia. In 2007 he became a resident of Large Animal Surgery at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University fulfilling the requirements for Board Certification by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and completing his Master of Science thesis in equine colic.

   

  Erik worked with Prof Riley on the design of the new equine hospital, the EHPC (now Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital-Large Animal), and executed singlehanded the construction of the center between 2012 and 2014. After writing the business plan for the new state of the art, large bore 16 slice CT scanner from Toshiba, he received the funding, redesigned the CT- room and implemented the scanner as a clinical and research imaging tool for the school and University of Adelaide.

  He is currently the Head of Department for Veterinary Clinical Sciences.
