Curriculum Vitae

I followed a study for laboratory chemist during the years 1971-1975, and then went to the university of Utrecht (The Netherlands) to study chemistry. During these years I fulfilled my military service (or actually a civil job after refusing to join the army). From 1981 to 1985 I finished my PhD on the subject "Multiple light scattering from colloids" at the van't Hoff laboratory at the University of Utrecht, with Prof. A. Vrij. I then went for two years to the theoretical physics group of Prof. R. Klein in Konstanz (Germany) as a post doc, and then returned to Utrecht as an associate professor in the group of Prof. H.N.W. Lekkerkerker, again at the van't Hoff laboratory in 1987. In 2000 I moved to Jülich.
