Hans Goedbloed is Advisor of the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER), and Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Plasma Physics at Utrecht University. He has been a visiting scientist at laboratories in the Soviet Union, the United States, Brazil and Europe. He has taught at Campinas, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Amsterdam Free University and Utrecht University. For many years he coordinated an interdisciplinary and largescale computational effort with the Dutch Science Organisation on 'Fast Changes in Complex Flows.'
