Prof.dr. K.M. (Kees) van Hee (1946)


Kees van Hee studied Mathematics, with Physics and Economics in Leiden. In 1971 he became assistant professor of Computer Science in Leiden. At the end of 1973 he moved to TU/e where he received a PhD in 1978. The subject of his thesis was Markov decision processes with incomplete information. After his PhD he became director of AKB, a consultancy firm in Rotterdam specializing in operations research and statistics. In 1984 he was appointed professor of Computer Science, in particular the theory of information systems. He focused on methods for modeling information systems and on intelligent information systems. In 1994 he became director of Bakkenist Management Consultants.


When this firm merged with Deloitte in 1999, he became a partner of Deloitte Consultancy. In 2004 he returned fulltime to TU/e and focused on analysis methods for information systems using Petri nets. From 2005 till 2009 he was Dean of the Mathematics and Computer Science department. Since 2007 he has been director of the Stan Ackermans Institute, which provides professional doctorate programs in design and engineering.


He published over 130 papers. He was first supervisor of 15 and second supervisor of 10 PhD students. Seven of them are professors today. He supervised circa 130 master thesis projects.

In 1980 I received my MSc degree in electrical engineering (TU-Delft) and in 1992 my PhD degree in computer science (TU-Eindhoven). Most of my R&D work has been in industry: at Philips Research for 26 years, and later at NXP Research, ST-Ericsson, and Ericsson. From 1996 to 2023 I have been a part-time full professor in M&CS, specialized in parallel programming. My research is mostly on various models of computation (including theory, execution models, tools, and applications), resulting in more than 160 publications and patents [acc. to Google Scholar]: Asynchronous computing [1986-1996]. Result: so-called handshake circuits (my PhD thesis), applied in, amongst others, billions of chips for contactless smart cards. Embedded vector computing [1996-2006]. Result: an embedded vector DSP, applied in many millions of multi-standard [2G/3G/4G] modem chips for smart phones. Embedded multi-core computing [2006-2016]. Result: various HW and SW components applied in modem chips. Dataflow computing [2016-ongoing]. Result: StaccatoLab [= dataflow programming + execution model, related tools] and application studies in radio astronomy. Neural computing [2019-ongoing]. Result: contributions to neural-network inference chips for embedded applications, as part of my consultancy work for Grai-Matter Labs. Quantum computing [2020-ongoing]. Result: …

Hans Niemantsverdriet (Amsterdam 1951) studied Experimental Physics at the Free University (1978) and obtained his PhD in Technical Sciences from the Delft University of Technology (1983). In 1984 he received a ZWO Huygensfellowship, for spending 5 years at TU/e in the Laboratory Prof Roel Prins (Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry), with stays abroad at the University of München and the Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin. In 1989, Hans was appointed Associate Professor at TU/e, and Full Professor in 1999. Assisted by NWO-Pionier and NWO-Groot grants, he built up an extensive surface science laboratory and formed a research group on the theme Physical Chemistry of Surfaces in Catalysis. He supervised 27 PhD students as First Promotor, and 5 as co-promotor. From 2001 - 2007, Hans served as Dean of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, as the successor of Prof Ruud Metselaar. In this capacity he also represented TU/e in international committees such as CLUSTER and CESAER, and the EuroTech Group. In 2012 Hans became Dean of the TU/e Graduate School, with the task to design a plan for this new organization. When ready (end of 2014) Hans partly retired and resumed his passion, namely fundamental research in catalysis and surface science. Hans did sabbaticals at Purdue University, Berkeley, and DTU, was visiting professor in several universities in the world (Helsinki University of Technology, UDCT Mumbai, EPFL Lausanne, METU Ankara, Tianjin University) and scientific advisor in Singapore, Japan, Finland, Turkey and South Africa. From 1996-2016, Hans served as Associated and Full Editor of the Journal of Catalysis, by then the flagship journal of the field. Hans published about 330 scientific articles, and two books, Spectroscopy in Catalysis (Wiley 1993) and Concepts of Modern Catalysis and Kinetics (together with Ib Chorkendorff; Wiley 2003), which both became worldwide adapted texts for education in catalysis. At present, Hans is Honorary Professor at Cardiff University (2013), Jiangsu University (2016) and the University of Cape Town (2018), while Aalto University (the former Helsinki University of Technology) appointed him Doctor Honoris Causa in October 2014. Since 2013, Hans established his own research company, Syngaschem BV, which was formed with financial support from Synfuels China Technology Co., Ltd. Together with its Director, Prof Yongwang Li, Hans planned and built the Research Institute SynCat@Beijing in Beijing-Huairou, and a partner laboratory SynCat@DIFFER in Eindhoven. The two laboratories focus on fundamental surface studies, photocatalysis (Beijing) and electrocatalysis (Eindhoven). Associated with the SynCat Labs is the SynCat Ac@demy, offering courses in catalysis, surface science, and scientific leadership development. Hans serves as scientific director of the SynCat organisation, until the end of 2023. Links: www.syngaschem.com www.syncatbeijing.com www.syncatacademy.com

Persoonlijke aandachtsgebieden binnen de leerstoel bouwfysica: Warmte- en vochttransport in gebouwconstructies en installaties, luchtstromingen in en rond (wind) gebouwen. De toepassing van deze kennis betreft het thermisch comfort, duurzaamheid en het energiegebruik voor verwarmen en koelen van gebouwen. Hierbij is steeds een nauwe samenwerking met de bouwkundige en installatietechnische ontwerpers gezocht. De ontwikkeling van software om in een vroeg stadium de consequenties van ontwerpkeuzes te voorspellen stond hierbij centraal. Opleiding/achtergrond 1963 Radiotechnicus NRG 1963-1965 N.V.
