He conducts research in the field of linguistics and anthropology, with a focus on smaller languages from Indonesia. He has carried out extensive research about languages and traditions of Maluku and East Timor.[2]
He was educated at the University of Leiden, where he graduated with a master's degree in comparative linguistics in 1987.[3] He wrote a PhD dissertation on the description of the Leti language in 1995.[4] He started as a lecturer of Austronesian languages in 1993 at Leiden University.
Van Engelenhoven was born to an Indonesian mother from the Leti Islands.[citation needed] He was admitted to a local clan in 1989, giving him a special insight into the culture and allowing him to learn the clan's songs and stories.[citation needed]
In 2007, he accidentally discovered a virtually extinct language called Rusenu while studying another endangered language from East Timor called Makuva.[5]
