Marina Lobatch
Marina Vikentyevna Lobatch( born 26 June 1970 in Smalyavichy, Belarus) is a former Soviet Individual rhythmic gymnast.
She is the 1988 Olympic champion, 1987 World gold medalist in hoop and 1988 European gold medalist in rope and ribbon.
Douwe de Hoop
Douwe de Hoop( 24 March 1800, Workum- 27 October 1830, Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.
Harmen de Hoop
Harmen de Hoop( born 1959) is a Dutch artist known for his anonymous and illegal interventions in public space.
They are small, yet very direct actions that react to the manner in which urban space is used and the regulations that have been laid down for those who use it.
His works often address the lack of freedom that the individual has when it comes to the way public space is allowed to be used and the over- regulation of society.
With his interventions he breaches the systems and brings forward another, often humane perspective.
With this he tries to let people look at themselves in a different way, often with a sense of humor.
Adrianus de Hoop
Adrianus Teunis( Aad) de Hoop was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on 24 December 1927.
He received his MSc- degree in Electrical Engineering( 1950) and his PhD-degree in the Technological Sciences( 1958) from Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands, both with the highest distinction( cum laude).
He served Delft University of Technology as an Assistant Professor( 1950- 1957), Associate Professor( 1957- 1960) and Full Professor in Electromagnetic Theory and Applied Mathematics( 1960- 1996).
Since 1996 he is Lorentz Chair Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics Computer Science of this University.
In 1970 he founded at Delft the Laboratory of Electromagnetic Research, which has developed into a world- class center for electro-magnetics, having a huge impact on the world's electromagnetic community and on electromagnetic research and education in the Netherlands.
Dr. De Hoop's research interests are in the broad area of wavefield modeling in acoustics, electromagnetics and elastodynamics.
His interdisciplinary insights and methods in this field can be found in his seminal Handbook of Radiation and Scattering of Waves( 1995), with wavefield reciprocity serving as one of the unifying principles governing direct and inverse scattering problems and wave propagation in complex( anisotropic and dispersive) media.
He spent a year( 1956- 1957) as a Research Assistant with the Institute of Geophysics, University of California at Los Angeles, CA, USA, where he pioneered a modification of the Cagniard technique for calculating impulsive wave propagation in layered media, later to be known as the Cagniard – de Hoop method.
This technique is considered as a benchmark tool in analyzing time- domain wave propagation.
During a sabbatical leave at Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium, Eindhoven, the Netherlands( 1976- 1977), he was involved in research on magnetic recording theory.
Since 1982, Dr. De Hoop is, on a regular basis, Visiting Scientist with Schlumberger- Doll Research, formerly at Ridgefield, CT, now at Cambridge, MA, USA, where he contributes to research on geophysical applications of acoustic, electromagnetic and elastodynamic waves.

He is exploring a method for computing pulsed electromagnetic fields in strongly heterogeneous media with application to( micro- or nano- scale) integrated circuits and a methodology for time- domain pulsed- field antenna analysis, design and optimization for mobile communication and radar applications.
His avocation is playing the piano and performing choral music with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Choir.
