Dear visitor,

Welcome to this site. Here you find some information about myself. The top-menu ACTIVITIES provides monthly updated information on lectures, research, publications, and other academic news.

1) Short resumés in English and Dutch are available at the end of this introduction.

2) A 3-page curriculum is available as "Curriculum Aviel Verbruggen"

3) "Sustainable Energy Research" recalls the essential aspects and goal of Sustainable Development, and provides an overview of the six energy and environmental research topics I have been working on. Every topic is covered further by one of the six MAIN MENUS of this site.

4) The "List of publications" covers the period 1975-2008. More recent publications are figuring somewhere on this site (e.g. as Ongoing Research). The formal list of academic publications is maintained with some delay by the library staff of the University of Antwerp (http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=aviel.verbruggen)
