Biography
Jaap Hoekstra obtained an MSc in physics from the University of Amsterdam in 1983 and a PhD in microelectronics from the Delft University of Technology in 1988. Since then he has been employed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of the Delft University of Technology to teach semiconductor physics, electronics, and nanoelectronics. Prof. Hoekstra’s research focuses on bit-level systolic arrays, artificial neural networks, microelectronic devices, and nanoelectronics, especially modeling of single-electron devices.
