Über Autor(innen)

Gijsbertus de With is Professor of Materials Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands). After graduating from Utrecht University and receiving his PhD at Twente University, he joined Philips Research
Laboratories in Eindhoven in 1977. In 1985 he was appointed part-time professor to become in 1995 full professor at Eindhoven. His research interests include structure and interfacial phenomena related to the chemical and thermomechanical behavior of multi-phase materials, resulting in about 350 (co)-authored papers and about 15 patents. Throughout he cooperated with other researchers from academia and industry, co-founded and co-organized the annual conference Coating Science International during 2004-2014 and published three books.
