Autorinformation

Dr. Jacco Vink obtained his PhD in Astronomy from Utrecht University in 1999, based on research carried out at SRON The Netherlands Institute for Space Research after several postdoctoral research positions, among others as a NASA Chandra fellow at Columbia University in New York. He became an assistant professor at Utrecht University in 2005, and an associate professor at Amsterdam University as part of the center of excellence for Gravitation and Astroparticle Physics Amsterdam (GRAPPA).  He is working in the field of high energy astrophysics -- specifically, cosmic ray acceleration by supernova remnants. He is a member of the H.E.S.S. collaboration (gamma- rays), for which he leads the pulsar wind nebula/supernova remnant working group, and he is among others a science team member for two upcoming X-ray satellites: XRISM and IXPE.
