Rien Kaashoek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marinus Adriaan (Rien) Kaashoek (born November 10, 1937) is a Dutch mathematician, and Emeritus Professor Analysis and Operator Theory at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.

Biography

Born in Ridderkerk Kaashoek has studied Mathematics at the Leiden University, where he received his Phd in 1964 under supervision of Adriaan Zaanen.

Kaashoek had started his academic career as Assistant at the Leiden University from 1959 to 1962, and Junior Staff Member from 1962 to 1965. In 1966 he started as Senior Lecturer at the Vrije Universiteit, where in 1969 he was appointed Professor. Among his doctoral students are N. Dekker (1969), Harm Bart (1973), Philip Thijsse (1978) and Sanne ter Horst (2007)[1] Kaashoek has been at the University of Maryland, College Park in 1975, at the University of Calgary in 1987, at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in 1987 and at the Tel Aviv University on various occasions.[2]

Work

Kaashoeks research interests are in the field of 'the "analysis and Operator Theory, and various connections between Operator Theory, Matrix Theory and Mathematical Systems Theory. In particular, Wiener–Hopf integral equations and Toeplitz operators, their nonstationary variants, and other structured operators, such as continuous operator analogs of Bezout and resultant matrices. State space methods for problems in analysis. Also metric constrained interpolation problems and completion problems for partially given operators, including relaxed commutant lifting problems."[3]
