Jan van den Ende

Johannes Cornelis Maria (Jan) van den Ende is a Dutch Professor of Management of Technology and Innovation at Rotterdam School of Management at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Professor of Management at the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli in Rome, Italy.[1] known for his work on product and service development and idea management.[2][3]

Van den Ende received his MA at the Delft University of Technology in 1978, where he later also obtained his PhD. After several years in industry, he returned to the Delft University of Technology in 1990, where he became Assistant Professor. In 2000 he moved to the Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he was appointed Associate Professor at the Rotterdam School of Management, and in 2007 full Professor of Management of Technology and Innovation.

gollark: There is the problem that low-voltage DC loses power more quickly over longer distances.
gollark: Yes, you're right, let's just replace our lightbulbs with idealized magic visible light emitters.
gollark: If they didn't need that (I think the only practical way to achieve this would just be to stick one larger and more efficient converter somewhere) the bulbs would be individually cheaper and probably more efficient too, as well as safer.
gollark: You know something mildly interesting and relevant? LEDs run off lowish-voltage DC. The mains, as connected to most conventional lightbulb fittings (designed for incandescent/flourescent) provides high-voltage AC. This means that every LED lightbulb needs inefficient and probably somewhat expensive power supply circuitry.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
