Biographical note

Ramses van der Toorn (PhD Cum Laude 1997, Utrecht University, Netherlands) is a physicist and a generalist, with a career spanning both industrial (1998 - 2007) and academic research (1990 - 1998; 2007 - present). He has been active in radiation detection, solid state electronics, electron device physics, industrial modeling, geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, geophysics, gravity, physics of musical instruments and applied mathematics (symmetries, representation theory, differential equations), including neural networks and machine learning. His published work (31 peer reviewed in 6 distinct academic disciplines) is carried by the author's ability to master and develop a subject in the exact sciences, with an eye for applications and epistemological context. His recent work on Legendre's Equation and his ground breaking work on the Enhanced Frobenius theory shows the author's ability to gain synergy in the exact sciences from their historical and scientific-sociological context. The author has a broad teaching experience in various disciplines, at all academic levels.
