Function Hoogleraar A
Research Current scientific interests:

Interstellar scintillation and the local ISM
- AGN, Pulsars, GRB's, (any) transients, ...
(Polarized) Galactic synchrotron foreground
Active Galactic Nuclei:
- nuclear variability
- double-double radio galaxies and recurrent activity
Clusters of galaxies (diffuse emission)
High redshift HI:
- damped Ly-alpha absorbers
- Epoch of Reionization (LOFAR)

I have also extensively worked on the following subjects in the past - had to stop for lack of time - and remain interested.
- Radio emission from young (extragalactic) SNR
- Optical spectrophotometric monitoring of Seyfert galaxies
- Radio gravitational lensing
- Surveys of the sky, e.g. WENSS/WISH

And here are some technical interests:
- synthesis array calibration (WSRT, LOFAR, SKA)
- extreme dynamic range issues (>10^6:1)
- radio polarization methods (RM-synthesis)
Teaching I will teach the masters course on "Interferometry' in the 4th quarter of the 2009/2010 academic year starting April 26
