Tim Ophelders

As of May 2021, I am an assistant professor in the ALGO cluster at TU Eindhoven. Until February 2026 I was also an assistant professor in the Geometric Computing group at Utrecht University. My research direction is computational geometry and topology, and I specialize in continuous distance measures for low-dimensional objects.

I obtained my PhD degree from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of TU Eindhoven in 2018. My PhD was supervised by Bettina Speckmann and co-supervised by Kevin Buchin. I was a postdoc at Michigan State University from 2018 until 2020 and at TU Eindhoven from 2020 until 2021.
