Research
I am interested in the modelling and simulation
based analysis and design of complex, cyber-physical systems.
In the Modelling, Simulation and Design Lab (MSDL),
we study the theory
of Multi-Paradigm Modelling (MPM) and build tools to support the design
and implementation of such complex systems.
The MSDL is part of the AnSyMo (Antwerp Systems and software Modelling) group
in the department of Mathematics and Computer Science of
the University of Antwerp,
Antwerp, Belgium.
AnSyMo is a Core Research Lab of
Flanders Make,
the strategic research centre for the Flemish manufacturing industry.
I am also a founding member of the
NEXOR
Industrial Research Fund (IOF) Consortium on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) of which AnSyMo/CoSys-Lab is a part.
I work closely with colleagues in the School of Computer Science
of McGill University in
Montréal,
Québec,
Canada, the main location of MSDL 2000 - 2010.
The MSDL has (had) projects, researchers and students in both locations.

I was the chair 2014 - 2019 of the EU COST Action IC1404 "Multi-Paradigm Modelling for Cyber-Physical Systems"
(MPM4CPS). Though the EU funding has ended, the participants still actively continue the
research we started during this exciting Action.
We now work on a general framework for the design of Digital Twins, and apply this in very diverse domains,
from mechatronic/production systems to the complex Antwerp harbour ecosystem.
Lately, I also enjoy working on supporting collaborative/concurrent
modelling/engineering and on building the next generation of analog computers.
