Welcome to the personal page of Thijs Urlings

This area is meant as a way for the world to reach me, and for me to reach the world. You can learn more about my work at this page, and a bit about my personal life as well. This page is still under construction, I will be adding content whenever I have time and feel like it. Please feel free to send me suggestions or comments.

The different addresses in the side bar might lead to questions. Let me shortly explain this.
I am of Dutch origin grew up in a village near Maastricht. I studied Econometrics & Operational Research at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Universiteit Maastricht . The most constant factor in my life - my mother - still takes good care of my mail in The Netherlands.
My current job in Sistemas de Optimización Aplicada at the Instituto Tecnológico de Informática and my PhD at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia explain my residence in Spain.
In 2007, I have been working as a visiting researcher at IRIDIA , situated at the campus of the Université Libre de Bruxelles . Unafortunately I am only reachable on one mobile number at the time, so you might have to try various numbers.

I hope you can find on this page what you were looking for, otherwise just send me an e-mail and I will see if I can help you. Because, as Scooter taught me when I was a little boy: "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice".
