Introduction

The complexity of digital systems on all scales is my research field. Cyber Infrastructure is rapidly evolving from relatively simple fixed components to programmable and virtualized objects with many degrees of freedom, owned, operated and governed by different entities in multiple administrative domains interacting on the Internet. Harnessing this complexity in a transparent trust-able way for safe and secure data processing is a major research topic that nowadays defines the focus in my research.

Although I am retired I am employed by the UvA via UvA Jobservices for one day a week to remain advising the board on digital transition and a.o. chair the IT for Research committee. Also I support several international initiatives in Cyber Infrastructure development and am part of a number of international advisory boards. I am member of the Multiscale Networked Systems (MNS) group and guest of the Complex Cyber Infrastructure (CCI) and Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) research groups.

Teaching

As per Sept 1, 2022 I am not teaching anymore.
