    David van der Spoel

    David van der Spoel studied physics and engineering at the University of Groningen. After finishing his undergraduate studies in 1988 he started working as a software developer in the group of Herman Berendsen. The objective was to develop the GROMACS software for parallel molecular dynamics simulations. From 1992, David continued as a graduate student in the Berendsen group where he defended his Ph.D. thesis in 1996. In 1997 he moved to Uppsala where he was appointed Professor of Computational Molecular Biophysics in 2008. His current research focuses on development of the Alexandria force field for halo-organic compounds.
