Autobiography:
Evert-Jan Meijer is holding the chair of Molecular Simulation at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences of the University of Amsterdam. He is also affiliated with the Amsterdam Center for Multiscale modeling. Evert-Jan Meijer got a MSc in theoretical physics and a PhD in computational chemistry at the Utrecht University. He worked at various institutions outside The Netherlands, including a post-doctoral position at the IBM Research Laboratory in Switzerland, before returning as a faculty member of the University of Amsterdam. In his current research, he focusses on applying advanced molecular simulation techniques to understand and predict properties of (nano-sized) materials and complex chemical systems.
