Jan-Cees van der Meer is an Assistant Professor in the Applied Analysis group within the Department of Mathematics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on Applied Mathematics and Analysis, with particular emphasis on geometric mechanics and nonlinear Hamiltonian systems, which find applications in classical mechanics. His main area of interest lies in the organization of geometry in phase space systems and the symmetries that can provide insights into the dynamics of system behavior and its solutions. He explores themes in singularity bifurcation theory, normal form theory, and symmetry reduction theory, with special consideration of roto-translatory problems applicable to astrophysics. Jan-Cees obtained his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Utrecht after earning a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in Mathematical Biology, followed by a Master's degree in Mathematics (Analysis) with a minor in educational theory and didactics. His career includes research positions at the Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik at ETH Zurich, CWI in Amsterdam, and visiting appointments at various international universities.
Specific departments like Industrial Design require a portfolio. Programs like Data Science and AI require a GRE-General test for certain international backgrounds.
