Van den Brink is known for contributions to the field of strongly correlated materials, in particular for proposals on magnetic and orbital ordering,[1] [2] mechanisms for multiferroicity[3] and the theory of Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS).
He obtained a PhD from the University of Groningen in 1997, was a professor of theoretical condensed matter physics working at Leiden University from 2002–2009 and in 2009 visiting professor at theStanford Institute for Materials and Energy Science.
