Eric O. Postma, a Dutch computer scientist and associate professor at Tilburg Centre for Creative Computing (TiCC) of Tilburg University. He holds a Ph.D. degree from Maastricht University under Jaap van den Herik in 1994, and as a professor followed him in 2008 to Tilburg to establish TiCC. His research interests include artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, neural networks, cognition and visual perception.

=Neural MoveMap= Along with Levente Kocsis, Jos Uiterwijk and Jaap van den Herik, Eric Postma worked on using neural networks in computer chess to improve move ordering in alpha-beta, the Neural MoveMap Heuristic as published at CG 2002.
