Brief Biography: Niek van Hulst obtained his PhD in Molecular and Laser-physics at the University of Nijmegen (the Netherlands). In 1990, he became an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente, and in 1997, he became full Professor in Applied Optics, at the MESA+ Institute for NanoTechnology (Enschede, the Netherlands). In 2005, he joined ICFO – the Institute of Photonic Sciences (Barcelona, Spain) as ICREA Research Professor and senior group leader in the area of NanoPhotonics. Professor van Hulst is the author of over 200 refereed papers on single molecule detection, near-field optics, ultrafast laser spectroscopy, non-linear optics, macro/biomolecules, atomic force microscopy, nanophotonic structures and photonic crystals. Professor van Hulst has also been the recipient of a 1997 Shell Research Stimulation Award, 2003 Körber European Science Award, and 2009 Advanced Investigator Award of the European Research Council.
