Early life and education

edit

Born in 1965[1] in Veenendaal, the Netherlands, Steven J. van Enk lived in Holland until 1993.[2] He earned a Ph.D. at the Universiteit Leiden in 1992.[3]

Van Enk is a national FIDE Master chess player.[1][4]

Career

edit

Van Enk held postdoc positions at the MaxPlanck Institute of Quantum Optics, at the University of Innsbruck, and at Cal Tech, where he worked with H. Jeff Kimble, a leading theorist in quantum information. Van Enk was then a member of the technical staff at Bell Labs for six years.

In 2006 van Enk joined the University of Oregon Physics Department,[5] where he became a full professor in 2009.[2] His work has been partially supported by N.S.F. grants.[6]
