After completing my study in physics at the university of Groningen I did my PhD research on elctron spin resonance of incommensurably modulated crystals at the university in Nijmegen in the group of prof. Bert de Boer. This was followed by a postdoctoral research period of two years at the University of Oxford in the group of prof. Peter Hore.
Two years as a UNIX system administrator at Ernst & Young were well spent as an introduction to my further carreer at the Amsterdam Medical Center and the Computational Chemistry group at the University of Amsterdam, and now in the Biosystems Data Analysis group at the same university.
Over the years I enjoyed teaching various graduate and undergraduate courses varying from perl programming to numerical techniques.
Research interests
Advanced measurement techniques allow the production of data in very large quantities. I am interested in distilling information from these data. This can be done by finding and selecting the data that contain the most information. An important step in this process involves visualizing data in such a way that trends and correlations in the data clearly stand out.
