propagation, which occurs in many disciplines in the natural sciences, is his most highly cited paper. Together with
Hohenberg he worked in particular on the classification of coherent structures (fronts, pulses sources and sinks) in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and its generalizations, which is the proper amplitude equation for traveling wave pattern forming systems.

253:, in particular in statistical and condensed matter physics. His work in pattern formation in non-equilibrium systems centers on the development of the amplitude equation description of systems exhibiting a transition to standing waves. With Hohenberg he developed a classification of fronts, pulses, sources and sinks in such systems.

The authors then made suggestions about the ways in which the country can recover and relish in their big successes while making sure that research plays a big part in their nation's future.

With Varma and
Nussinov, van Saarloos reviewed the variety of ways in which Landau Fermi liquids can break down, giving rise to singular behavior. Together with Morozov, van Saarloos predicted that viscoelastic Poiseuile flow in a straight channel would exhibit a nonlinear instability at low Reynolds

Saarloos' work on propagating fronts on a number of years culminated in a paper together with Ebert in which they derived the universal asymptotic behavior of a large class of fronts – so-called pulled fronts—propagating into an unstable state. The review van Saarloos wrote on this type of fronts

Saarloos was member of technical staff in the Materials Physics Research Department from 1984 to 1990 at AT&T Bell Laboratories. In 1991 he joined the Institute-Lorentz for theoretical physics of the physics department of Leiden University. With two colleagues he founded the Lorentz Center in
