Antoon van Hooft

Antoon van Hooft is a Lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His academic background includes a PhD in Atmospheric Physics from Delft and a focus on fluid dynamics during his Applied Physics studies at TU/e. He teaches courses such as Physics for Biomedical Engineering, Linear Algebra & Multivariable Calculus, and Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics, emphasizing foundational math and physics in biomedical curricula.

His research spans fluid dynamics, atmospheric physics, and numerical modeling, with recent work on plant-tissue warming via wind machines and adaptive computational solvers. Notable contributions include studies on boundary layer dynamics, nocturnal inversion regimes, and polar meteorology. He maintains a personal website detailing flow solver development and open-source projects.

Collaborations include work with institutions like Wageningen University (fruit frost protection) and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (Antarctic boundary layer analysis). No ancillary activities are listed, and he holds no formal awards mentioned in the profile.
