I am active in the PCF group, at the faculty of science and engineering. After my training in experimental physics at the university of Nijmegen, I graduated in 1982, also in Nijmegen on my thesis on reactive scattering with state selective molecular beams. After some years in research with Océ van der Grinten in Venlo, I am working since 1987 at the university of Twente, in the area of rheology, soft matter physics and microfluidics.
