Biography

I graduated as an "Ingenieur in Mathematics" at the Technical University of Eindhoven in 1988 and I got my PhD from the University of Twente in 1992. In 1993/94 I was awarded a NATO Research Fellowship to do research at the University of California Santa Cruz and the MSRI in Berkeley. In the following year 1994/95, I was a Research Fellow at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. In 1995, I started at the University of Surrey and I am currently a Reader in the Department of Mathematics.

Research Interests

• Hamiltonian systems (ODEs and PDEs) with perturbations like dissipation and/or forcing;
• Dissipation induced instability;
• Stability and instability of travelling waves and front solutions, for example for (semi)-kinks in Josephson junctions or ionization waves in gas discharges;
• Multi-symplectic systems.
• Mathematical models �m�o�d�e�l�s� �i�n� �p�h�a�r�m�a�c�o�l�o�g�y�,� �t�o�x�i�c�o�l�o�g�y�,� �m�e�t�a�b�o�l�i�s�m� �(including pharmacokin�etics-pharmacodynamics and physiology based dynamical models)�.
