Van Leeuwen completed his undergraduate studies in mathematics at Utrecht University in 1967 and received a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1971 from the same institution under the supervision of Dirk van Dalen.[2][3] After postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley and faculty positions at Stony Brook University and Pennsylvania State University, he returned to Utrecht as a faculty member in 1977. He was head of his department from 1977 to 1983, and again from 1991 to 1994, and dean from 1994 to 2009.[2] Among his doctoral students is fellow Utrecht faculty member and notable game software developer, Mark Overmars.[3]
Van Leeuwen is an ISI highly cited researcher.[4] Since 1992 he has been a member of the Royal Dutch Society of Science, and in 2006 he was elected to the Academia Europaea.[2][5] He was the editor of the Handbook of Theoretical Computer Science.
His son, Erik Jan van Leeuwen, is also an academic computer scientist, currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science.[6]
