In 1962, Dijkstra moved to [[Eindhoven]], and later to [[Nuenen]], in the south of the Netherlands, where he became a professor in the Mathematics Department at the [[Eindhoven University of Technology]].<ref name="Apt, Krzysztof R. 2002"/> The university did not have a separate computer science department and the culture of the mathematics department did not particularly suit him. Dijkstra tried to build a group of computer scientists who could collaborate on solving problems. This was an unusual model of research for the Mathematics Department.<ref name="Dijkstra_bio"/> In the late 1960s, he built the [[THE multiprogramming system|THE operating system]] (named for the university, then known as [[Technische Hogeschool Eindhoven]]), which has influenced the designs of subsequent [[operating system]]s through its use of software-based paged virtual memory.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Operating System Concepts |last1=Silberschatz |first1=Abraham |last2=Peterson |first2=James L. |year=1988 |pages=512}}</ref>
