In 1995 he obtained his PhD in Johannes P. Woerdman's lab at Leiden University with the thesis Quantum mechanics and classical optics. The next year, while he was a post-doctoral researcher in the group of Anton Zeilinger, he performed one of the first demonstrations of Quantum teleportation using photons. His current areas of research include solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, knotted states of light, micro-optomechanical systems, and DNA-templated optical emitters.
He was awarded the 2014 Spinoza prize, the highest scientific award in the Netherlands.
