René 's Curriculum Vitae

René de Gelder was born in Wissenkerke (Zeeland, The Netherlands) on the 21st of June 1965. In 1986 he graduated from his pre-university education (Atheneum-B) at the "Fioretti-College" in Lisse (Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands).

He studied chemistry at the University of Leyden, the Netherlands where he got his Masters in May 1988. After his studies he worked for four years as a PhD-student in the field of Crystallography at the Department of Structural Chemistry of the University of Leyden under supervision of Prof.dr. H. Schenk. His PhD-research involved the ab initio solution of the phase problem in single-crystal X-ray diffraction for difficult small and medium sized compounds. He received his PhD in december 1992.

After his PhD he worked for two years as a postdoc at the University of Nijmegen where he did research on the development of methods to solve the phase problem for incommensurately modulated structures. From 1995 on he is working as a lecturer in Chemical Crystallography at the University of Nijmegen.
