	Martin Groenewegen Martin Groenewegen obtained his doctorate in 1993 from the University of Amsterdam. After postdoctoral positions at the IAP, MPA, and KU Leuven he became a member of staff of the Royal Observatory of Belgium. His scientific interest are mass loss and the circumstellar shells of evolved stars, stellar populations, and the distance scale (Classical and Type-II Cepheids, Mira variables, TRGB).
