Curriculum Vitae
Ruud van Leeuwen was born in Gouda, The Netherlands on December 9th, 1976. From 1989 to 1995 he attended ‘Voorbereidend Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs’ (vwo) at the St.-Antoniuscollege in Gouda. Next, he started his studies in Applied Physics at Delft University of Technology. During his studies, he worked as a Summer Research Assistant at the nato Undersea Research Center (nurc) in La Spezia, Italy, doing research on a benchmark method for simulation models of undersea sound propagation. His undergraduate research was done in the Laboratory of Acoustic Imaging and Sound control under supervision of Dr G. Blacquière and Dr C. P. A. Wapenaar. In his Master’s thesis, entitled Imaging of acoustic data acquired on a circular array using wave field extrapolation, he describes a new method of imaging tissue using ultrasound and a circular array of sound transducers. After graduating in 2001, he started his PhD research in the Biophysics group of Dr Sander J. Tans at the fom Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (amolf) in Amsterdam. The results of this research are described in this thesis.
