His authorship is recorded in DBLP, Scopus, the ACM Digital Library, and Google Scholar, ensuring discoverability and reuse of his research. He trained doctoral researchers and thereby contributed to the development of the next generation of researchers; named doctoral students include Anya Helene Skrove Bagge and Karl Trygve Kalleberg. His sustained online presence—personal website, GitHub, and academic profiles—made his work and software artifacts accessible to peers and practitioners. The multiple national and international authority identifiers (ISNI, VIAF, GND, Library of Congress) show a recognized and citable scholarly identity. Without his publications, supervisory record, and maintained resources, a portion of the research output and mentorship traceable through these systems would be absent; his record preserves a line of scholarship and practical artifacts tied to Delft University of Technology and the University of Amsterdam. ## Notable For - Serving as a researcher and faculty member at Delft University of Technology. - Education and doctoral lineage: educated at the University of Amsterdam; doctoral advisor Paul Klint. - Supervising doctoral students, including Anya Helene Skrove Bagge and Karl Trygve Kalleberg. - Maintaining a public research presence: personal website (https://eelcovisser.org/), GitHub (eelcovisser), Twitter (EelcoVisser). - Broad scholarly discoverability: indexed in DBLP (00/5705), Scopus (7004411487), Google Scholar (1OA7zicAAAAJ), and registered under authority identifiers such as ISNI 0000000384759630 and VIAF 278085347. ## Body ### Early life and education - Born 12 October 1966 in Rijswijk, Netherlands. - Educated at the University of Amsterdam. - Doctoral advisor: Paul Klint. ### Academic appointments - Employer: Delft University of Technology (listed employer). - Affiliation with University of Amsterdam (education and institutional links). ### Research outputs and indexing - DBLP author id: 00/5705. - Scopus author id: 7004411487. - Google Scholar author id: 1OA7zicAAAAJ. - ACM Digital Library author id: 81100561215. - Mathematical Genealogy Project id: 120006. - Works and authorship are recorded under authority files such as ISNI 0000000384759630, VIAF 278085347, and Library of Congress authority nb2004307463. ### Supervision and mentorship - Doctoral students: Anya Helene Skrove Bagge; Karl Trygve Kalleberg. - Part of a doctoral lineage supervised by Paul Klint. ### Online presence and identifiers - Personal website: https://eelcovisser.org/. - GitHub username: eelcovisser. - Twitter: EelcoVisser. - ResearchGate profile id: Eelco-Visser. - Other identifiers include ORCID-linked Scopus entries, national library identifiers, and multiple researcher profile IDs (Dimensions, Springer Nature, NARCIS). ### Death - Died 5 April 2022 in Utrecht, Netherlands. ## References 1. death notice 2.
