Frans Clauwens
Frans Clauwens (1950-2011) studied mathematics at the Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen (now Radboud Universiteit), where he obtained his PhD in 1975 and became an assistant professor. His research interests included algebraic and differential topology, in particular surgery theory, algebraic K- theory and algebraic L-theory. He was researching the peculiarities of lambda-rings with a view to using these to provide methods for calculating K- and L- groups in the nonfinite cases up until his death in 2011.
