Biography
Adrianus de Hoop was born on December 24, 1927 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He earned both his master's degree in electrical engineering (1950) and PhD in technological sciences (1958) from the Delft University of Technology. In 1950, he joined the faculty of Delft University as a professor of Electromagnetic Theory and Applied Mathematics, and since 1996 has been a Professor Emeritus in the university's Department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science. One of de Hoop's accomplishments at Delft University has been the creation of the Laboratory of Electromagnetic Research in 1970.
