Publications
This page contains my publications and related documents. Bibliographic information is also available in this BibTeX file.
Note that, like many Dutch names, my family name 'Van Erven' consists of multiple words. In the Netherlands, the prefix 'van' is capitalised, except when directly preceded by a given name (e.g. Tim) or initials.
