===Quality===
 
In the field of propagation of light in disordered media (experiment and theory) AL is a pioneer and world leader. This field has grown enormously gained importance due to its highly multidisciplinary character. AL played a major role in the growth of this field. His work has been highlighted several times in Physics Today and further acknowledged by the invitation to write the feature article of the Physics Today August 2009 issue, dedicated to the most important concept in the physics of disorder: Anderson Localization. In the following a selection will be made of the most important contributions.
 
 
*'''''Mutual transparency''''': We have very recently introduced the new concept of mutual extinction (EPL, '''130''', 34002 (2020) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/lagendijk2020_EPL_mutual_transparency.pdf pdf]), which occurs when more than one light wave is incident. Based on calculations of samples containing many scatterers we demonstrate that the total extinction of two incident waves is greatly enhanced, called mutual extinction, or greatly reduced, mutual transparency, by up to 100%.
 
 
*'''''Transverse localization''''': AL predicted a new form of localization of light: "Transverse localization of light" (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''62''', 47-50 (1989) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/89.01-1.pdf pdf]  ). His prediction was confirmed experimentally by Moti Segev  et al. (Nature '''446''', 52 (2007)) and highlighted in Physics Today, May 2007 issue.
 
 
*'''''Weak localization:''''' Group of AL was the first ever (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''55''', 2692-2695 (1985) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/85.01-1.pdf pdf]) to observe weak localization of light (enhanced back-scattering) - independently also observed by Prof. Georg Maret. The coherent backscattering of waves is an interference effect that survives in multiple scattering. This milestone has opened a whole new area of research and has stimulated many workers in different fields. After our pioneering work the observation of coherent back scattering has turned into an industry, with experiments performed with light waves, sound waves, microwaves, polaritons, and with cold gasses. AL was invited to write a column in Physics Today about his discovery.
 
 
*'''''Light slowed down:''''' AL group was the first to predict and to observe extreme slowing down of light in a disordered material (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''66''', 3132-3135 (1991) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/albada1991_PRL_ve.pdf pdf]). These results were highlighted in the Research and Discovery section of Physics Today, June 1991, p 17-19. At first our findings were met with scepsis and opposition, but five years later, this discovery has become part standard textbook material.
 
 
*'''''Light localized:''''' In Nature (Nature '''390''', 671-673 (1997) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/wiersma1997_Nature_localization_of_light.pdf pdf]) we published, in collaboration with a group in Florence, the observation of localization of light. Sajeev John wrote a News and Views article in that issue to highlight our results. (Nature '''390''' page 661-662 (1997).
 
 
*'''''Random lasers:''''' Group AL made decisive contributions to the field of random lasers. Even the term Random Lasers was coined by the group. (see Physics World, January 1990, page 33; We recently published the first paper on the determination of the spatial size of a mode in a random laser (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''98''', 143901 (2007) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/PRL98-143901-3.pdf pdf]).
 
 
*'''''Density of states:''''' Group AL was the first to introduce the concept of local density of states (LDOS) in the field of photonic crystals, Europhys. Lett. '''35''', 265 (1996) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/96.05-1.pdf pdf]. With their theory they showed that a strong spatial variation in the lifetime of emitters could be expected, well before a photonic bandgap is achieved. Very recently the first finite-size scaling of the DOS in photonic crystals was reported by AL and coworkers (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''120''', 237402: 1-6(2018) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/prl120hasan2018finite-size_scaling_DOS_band_gap-3.pdf pdf]).
 
 
*'''''Speckle correlations:'''''  Group AL made major contributions to the observation of spatial and frequency correlations, including the first discovery of long-range correlations (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''64''', 2787-2790 (1990) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/deboer1990_PRL_long_range_cor.pdf pdf]).
 
 
*'''''Internal reflection:''''' AL invented the concept of internal reflection of diffuse waves (Phys. Lett. A '''136''', 81(1989) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/89.03_1-1.pdf pdf]).
 
 
*'''''Multifractality:'''''  The discovery of multifractality of Anderson localized sound wave was reported by the group of AL, in collaboration with groups from Manitoba (Canada) and from Grenoble. (Phys. Rev. Lett. '''103''', 155703 (2009) [https://nano-cops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/faez2009_PRL_multifractal.pdf pdf]).
 
 
*'''''Early work:''''' In 1975 AL started as a postdoc in Antwerp a new and successful research effort on the magnetic resonance of one-dimensional magnetic systems. He developed a new theory, predicted several new resonances, built new microwave cavities and discovered the resonances experimentally. He worked successfully on computer simulation of quantum systems with path integrals with Hans De Raedt. Together they were the first to solve a Fermion lattice model (acknowledged in Physics Today, Research and Discovery). In addition they made major contributions to the behavior of small polarons. After moving to Amsterdam, and switching to optics, group AL performed pioneering work on femto-second electron dynamics.

==Science Survival==
 
<blockquote>
 
===Book===
 
On the basis of experiences with junior scientists at the UvA, at UT and at AMOLF, in continous discussion with the senior group leaders AL has written a book:
 
''Survival Guide for Scientists''
 
 
Amsterdam University Press, 2008, 215 pages,
 
 
It is a how-to advice on essential topics such as the foundations for writing scientific texts, presenting data and research information, and the writing and reading of collegial e-mails. Each section is organized by a collection of short rules, outlined and numbered in a logical order as self-explanatory pieces of information—allowing the reader the freedom to study any number of them in any desired order. These concrete guidelines, supplemented by an extensive index, makes it a unique book.
 
Over 4000 copies sold
 
 
===Lectures===
 
As a result of the book AL is regularly asked to give presentations on survival in science. Invitations of this kind incldued the Rotterdam Eye Hospital reopening, HBO-students in Groningen, Wetsus in Leeuwarden, medical students in Leiden, and "Verslavingszorg" students in Nijmegen.
