I work part time (three days a week) at the university, mostly involved in educational things (see below). As a rule I am never in my office on Wednesdays. More precise information about my presence can be found on the door of room 151.

Current projects

I am mostly interested in theoretical aspects of Computer Science, especially the analysis of algorithms and datastructures (complexity, combinatorial aspects, etc.). Other interesting research topics are datamining and genetic algorithms.
Heaps: see our heap bibliography.
Since 2006/2007 I teach the first year course on algorithms, called Algoritmiek. This was also the case from 1990/1991 until 2002/2003. See Algoritmiek 2007/2008.
Furthermore I was a teacher of a graduate course on analysis of algorithms Analyse van algoritmen. Last time this course was scheduled was in spring 2003. In the near future it will not be taught in this form anymore, since a similar course is scheduled since spring 2004 in the curriculum in the second year.
I am also responsible this second year course on complexity (called Complexiteit). In 2005/2006 I was co-organiser of a student seminar on advanced algorithms, see Seminar Artificial Intelligence and Complexity.
In 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 I was/am mentor for first year students and involved in Studievaardigheden, co-responsible for Programmeermethoden and in 2003-2004 for a C++-course for students of Life Science & Technology.
Guiding several student's projects on (among others) datamining.
Involved in industrial projects, about applications of datamining in the industry.
I was co-advisor (with Walter Kosters) of Daniel Palomo van Es, Jeroen Witteman, Rogier van de Burg, Jeroen Haverkorn, Julia Dmitrieva and Tim Cocx on their Master's Theses. This was also the case for Robin Roestenburg, who graduated in November 2005. The title of his thesis is "Partcle Swarm Optimization: Finding Optimal Poker Strategies". In 2007 I was co-advisor of Alexander Nezhinsky (How rules determine the operator: Analysis of water height prediction).
I have been student advisor for part time students (and still am for some who began their study before 2001) in Computer Science ([Dutch] studenten van de Deeltijdopleiding Informatica.

Curriculum Vitae

I have a PhD in Mathematics, more specifically, I did research on differential equations. The title of my thesis is: Nonlinear diffusion problems in hydrology and biology (1987). Since 1987 I work at the Computer Science department (LIACS) of Leiden university.
