office: room 906 (9th floor), Huygens Laboratory. Also because of the tight lecture schedule in Leiden, I don't have regular office hours - simply send a brief informal email when you want to meet me (probably check my agenda below) and we'll manage! Or drop by on the 9th floor Huygens at 12:30, then we usually have lunch.
