Norbert E. Ligterink

The family name Ligterink comes from Low German "son of the light-hearted" ("-ink" is the dialect for "son-of"). The family has lived in Barlo, the Achterhoek, The Netherlands, for at least six centuries.

I studied physics and a little mathematics in Amsterdam, and received a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics in 1996. I lived and worked in several places: Uppsala (Sweden), Manchester (UK), Trento (Italy), Pittsburgh (USA), and returned to my place of birth: Enschede (The Netherlands).

I received a second Ph.D. in System Theory. (electrical engineering/mathematics). Worked a couple of years on emissions of vehicles. Then a few year on flow, pulsation, and acoustics in petrochemical installations. Now back in vehicle emissions.
