Jozef T. Devreese

Jozef T. Devreese is a Belgian scientist, with a long career in condensed matter physics. He is Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Physics at the University of Antwerp.

Academic career

Jozef T. Devreese graduated in 1960 from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven where he received his PhD in Science, group Physics in 1964. From 1961 till 1966 he worked at the Solid State Physics Department of the Research Centre for Nuclear Energy (SCK-CEN) in Mol (Belgium). In 1966 he started his work as lecturer and then full professor (from 1969) at the University of Antwerp, where he founded the research group TFVS (Theoretische Fysica van de Vaste Stoffen). From 1977 he became also 'professor extraordinarius' at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (the Netherlands).

Scientific research

He contributed to the theory of polarons (see reviews[1][2][3][4] in particular their optical[5][6][7] and magnetooptical[8] properties, quantum theory of solid matter,[9] superconductivity[10][11] and superfluidity,[12] Feynman path integrals and mathematical methods[13][14][15][16] structures with reduced dimension and dimensionality[17][18] nanophysics).[19][20]

The results of his research are published in about 500 articles in international scientific journals. According to the Web of Knowledge, there are more than 8300 citations of these publications in about 4300 citing papers.

Cultural interests

As amateur of classical music, he contributed to the realization on the Metzler organ[21] in the Our Lady Cathedral in Antwerp (1993) and he was chairman (2000–2002) of the Flemish Institute for Organ Art (VIVO). He also contributed to the study[22][23] of the work of Simon Stevin and to the promotion of the Dutch language and culture in the internationalized society.
