Steenbrink received in 1974 his doctorate from the University of Amsterdam with thesis advisor Frans Oort and thesis Limits of Hodge Structures and Intermediate Jacobians.[1] He is now a professor at Radboud University Nijmegen.
His research deals with singularity theory (including three-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties), mixed Hodge structures (after Pierre Deligne), and variation of Hodge structures[2] (after Phillip Griffiths).
Steenbrink was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1990 in Kyoto.[3]
His doctoral students include Aise Johan de Jong.
In addition to his mathematical work, Steenbrink is a harpsichordist, organist, and choir singer.[4]
