The
General
In
September 2004, I became an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science of Eindhoven
University of Technology (TU/e), in the capacity group Computer Science, in the
so-called expertise area System Architecture and Networking, and since April 2010, I
am an associate professor.
I received a B.Sc. and
M.Sc. (both with honors) from the Department of Electrical Engineering of the
I am married to Carmen and
we have three lovely children, two daughters: Joëlla and Marijn, and a son:
Wander.
Research
During the past two
decades, I have been active in a number of different domains and in a number of
different roles. Prior to my graduation, the focus of my research was on
Quality-of-Service for multimedia consumer terminals, with an emphasis on dynamic
resource management, and software architecture analysis; see also my Ph.D. thesis.
Recent highlights related to these two topics are given below. Since my
graduation, my research became less application domain specific, and focused on
analysis for reservation-based resource management using fixed-priority
pre-emptive scheduling in networked embedded systems in general rather than in
multimedia consumer terminals in particular. A more detailed impression from my
work can be obtained from my curriculum vitae or from
my list of publications, list of patent publications, and presentations.

Organizational and other
On March 31st,
2005, a one-day workshop Resource
Management for Media Processing in Networked Embedded Systems (RM4NES) was
held at the premises the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. The workshop was
organized by the IEEE Benelux Chapter on
Consumer Electronics in conjunction with the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. I
belonged to the organization committee and I am an editor of the proceedings:
