Servaas Kokkelmans
Servaas was a theory graduate student with Boudewijn Verhaar at Eindhoven Technological University in the Netherlands.

After finishing his Ph.D. in Eindhoven in 2000, he was a pdoc at JILA and Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris.

Now, he is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven.

Servaas visited us for 3 months at the beginning of 1998.  We had a great time!  Not only can he do difficult calculations, but he's also a budding experimentalist.  The picture shows Servaas in the Lab wrapping a large magnet coil.  No doubt because of the large number of turns, this became known as the "'king coil."
