Unverifiable or Possible hoax. Search results in 23 unique Ghits, many of which wiki pr mirrors. Hits also for namesake, student at Dalhousie University. The entry was created by single purpose account Gunthervanluten. The author lifted one entire paragraph from another website, and there have been a few vandalism edits too: the exchanges which took place on the articles talk page strongly hint to me that someone is having a bit of fun at wikipedia's expense.

- Delete as hoax. The website for the Heineken Prize does not mention this "scientist". Neither does the website for De Jonge Akademie (part of the Royal Dutch Academy site). There are Dutch scientists by this surname, but none found with this first name. But gimme a break - 150,000 tabs of ecstacy as a prize? Agent 86 18:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
