Devreese graduated in 1960 from the
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven where he received his
PhD in science, group
physics in 1964. From 1961 till 1966 he worked at the
Solid State Physics Department of the Research Centre for Nuclear Energy (SCK-CEN) in
Mol (
Belgium). In 1966 he started his work as lecturer and then full professor (from 1969) at the
University of Antwerp, where he founded the research group TFVS (Theoretische Fysica van de Vaste Stoffen). From 1977 he became also 'professor extraordinarius' at the
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (the
Netherlands).
The results of his research are published in about 500 articles in international scientific journals. According to the
Web of Knowledge, there are more than 8300 citations of these publications in about 4300 citing papers.
Cultural interests
As amateur of
classical music, he contributed to the realization on the Metzler organ[21] in the
Our Lady Cathedral in
Antwerp (1993) and he was chairman (2000–2002) of the Flemish Institute for Organ Art (VIVO). He also contributed to the study[22][23]
of the work of
Simon Stevin and to the promotion of the
Dutch language and culture in the internationalized society.
Distinctions / awards
Three-annual prize for exact and natural sciences of the "Vlaamse Leergangen" of the
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (1972).
