Niek de Kleijn

Dr. Niek de Kleijn is a mathematical physicist and educator currently teaching at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). He holds a PhD from the University of Copenhagen, where his research focused on non-commutative geometry, particularly symmetries in deformation quantization. This background in advanced mathematical physics provides him with a deep understanding of complex mathematical concepts. At TU Delft, de Kleijn applies his expertise to teaching bachelor-level mathematics courses, including calculus, linear algebra, and probability and statistics. His teaching is exclusively within engineering faculties, indicating a focus on practical applications of mathematics in engineering contexts. De Kleijn's transition from theoretical research to applied mathematics education demonstrates his ability to bridge the gap between advanced mathematical concepts and their practical applications in engineering fields. His role at TU Delft involves preparing future engineers with a solid foundation in mathematics, essential for their technical education and future careers.
