Education

Van Vliet obtained a BS in physics and mathematics, in 1949, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. The from the same university Van Vliet obtained an MA in physics, in 1953, and a PhD in 1956 for a thesis entitled "Current Fluctuations in Semiconductors and Photoconductors," under Gerardus J. Sizoo.

Personal life

As a teeneager Van Vliet lived for 5 years in Nazi-occupied Holland. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,991166-1,00.html] The name change from "K. M. Van Vliet" to "C. M. Van Vliet" occurred in 1982. [http://www.physics.miami.edu/~vanvliet/listing.html]

Van Vliet was first a Teaching Assistant (1949-1953) at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, then was an NV Philips Research Fellow (1953-1956) at the same university. This was followed by an appointment as a postdoctoral fellow, at the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Minnesota, USA (1956-1957), rising to assistant professor there. During 1958-1960, Van Vliet was appointed as 'Conservator' in the Department of Physics at the Vrije Universiteit and then was appointed at the University of Minnesota (1960-1970) rising to professor. In 1969-1995, Van Vliet was Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, Université de Montréal, Canada, then, during 1992-2000, became Professor at Florida International University, Miami, Florida.
