Jan de Boer (born 29 June 1967, in Doniawerstal) is a Dutch theoretical physicist specializing in string theory.
[1] After earning a double master's degree in mathematics and physics at the University of Groningen, De Boer obtained his PhD from Utrecht University in 1993 with the dissertation Extended conformal symmetry in non-critical string theory.
Since 2000, he has been professor of theoretical physics at the University of Amsterdam.
[2][3] From 1946 to 1981, an unrelated Jan de Boer (1911–2010) was also a professor of theoretical physics at the same department of the University of Amsterdam, specializing in thermodynamics.
