    Paul Kuijer (1957–2025)

    Paul Kuijer(1957–2025) — We received news of the passing of Paul Kuijer with great sorrow. Paul was a senior experimental physicist at Nikhef and played an important role in the ALICE experiment at CERN. During the last years of his career, Paul had turned his attention mostly towards the ET Pathfinder project within the Gravitational
