After his studies in astrophysics at the Leiden Observatory, Bart van Tiggelen specialised in all forms of wave propagation (acoustic and seismic waves, microwaves). His research covers a wide range of disciplines and has led him to work in computational physics, magneto-optics or quantum electrodynamics.  He is currently a research professor at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France, and is based in Grenoble.
