• Tenured Assistant Professor with ius promovendi in the Software Engineering and Technology cluster of the department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
• Deputy Program Director for Computer Science in the department of Mathematics and Computer Science at TU/e.
• Extraordinary Associate Professor in Computer Science at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

Academic background

At TU/e, I received ius promovendi in 2025, and tenure in 2021. I had previously re-joined TU/e in 2017 after some years elsewhere. From 2018–2023 I was Managing Director of the Institute for Programming research and Algorithmics (IPA), a Dutch national research school that is focused on PhD candidate education and for which TU/e is the coordinating university. I became Deputy Program Director CS at TU/e in 2024, and Extraordinary Associate Professor at SU in 2025.

During 2014–2023, I was a research fellow at Stellenbosch University’s Department of Information Science. I have also spent time as a joint researcher between TU/e and ASML, working on model-driven hardware virtualizations for testing lithography systems. In 2016, I was a Visiting Scientist at TU Braunschweig, working on correctness-based approaches for software product line engineering, as well as extractive techniques for software product line engineering. That group since moved to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where I spent a sabbatical in 2022.

I have previously worked in industry in the Netherlands and the United States of America, and at the University of Pretoria, South Africa and Umeå University, Sweden.

I obtained both my MSc (cum laude) and doctorate in Computer Science and Engineering at TU/e.
