Jan Koenderink
Jan Johan Koenderink (born 1943, Stramproy[1]) is a Dutch mathematician and psychologist known for his researches on visual perception, computer vision, and geometry.
Koenderink earned a bachelor's degree from Utrecht University in 1964, a master's in 1967, and a Ph.D. in 1972. He was a full professor of physics and astronomy at Utrecht University from 1978 until his mandatory retirement in 2008; since then, he has held fellow or visiting professor positions at Utrecht, the Delft University of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.[2]
He is the author of the books Color for the Sciences (MIT Press, 2010), on colorimetry,[3] and Solid Shape (MIT Press, 1990), on differential geometry.[4][5]
In 1987, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven awarded him an honorary doctorate.[2] He became a fellow of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1990,[6] and of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts in 2010.[2] He is the 2013 recipient of the Azriel Rosenfeld Award for lifetime achievement in computer vision.[7]
