He finished his PhD on face recognition disorders in 1988, co-supervised by Andy Young. From 1991 until 2008, he was Professor of Neuropsychology at Utrecht University and Academic Hospital. He subsequently moved to the University of Amsterdam, and in 2021 he was elected Research Fellow of St.Hugh’s College, Oxford.
In 2023 he moved to the Radboud University in Nijmegen to take on the role of director of the Donders Institute , and in the same year he was elected visiting chair at the University of Nottingham.
