June 23, 2023, our colleague Wil Schilders will retire from Eindhoven University of Technology, as full professor Scientific Computing for Industry.
Wil has and had many other positions, such as: director of the Platform Mathematics Netherlands; president of the European Consortium on Mathematics for Industry; president-elect of the International Council for Industrial Applied Mathematics; co-founder and leader of the European service network for mathematics in industry EU-MATHS-IN; advisor to mathematics institutes in Brazil, Germany, Ireland and Japan; and more.
Wil is of great value to mathematics in The Netherlands, Europe and worldwide: through his unique network in academic institutions, government agencies and high-tech companies; through his outstanding organizational and acquisition skills; and through his broad and deep knowledge of mathematics and its applications in industry.
Wil’s great commitment extends beyond his professorship. He serves the general public with exhibitions on the beauty and practical relevance of mathematics, and with information on how to solve Sudoku puzzles. He wrote three widely translated booklets on this hobby, to entertain countless people.
