Additionally: Chair of Computational Thinking for AI and Director (Stellenbosch node) of the Centre for AI Research.

Research Professor in informatics, continuing my work in algorithmics for areas such as big data (network security, intelligence, and bioinformatics), pattern matching, computational linguistics, and compilers. Additional work in predictive analytics, domain-specific languages, and decision analysis.

Active visiting full professor in the well-known algorithmics group at KCL. This group (related to FASTAR) focuses on stringology, combinatorics and pattern matching.

Brion is an ASML company, and this position is the mirror of the position with ASML.

As a senior technical manager, I was responsible for or contributed to various advanced software initiatives, including the roll-out of C++ for implementation work. Additionally, I was a founder and driver of productivity and way-of-work improvements such as the correct and secure exchange and implementation of (physical, behavioural, and performance) models in all of ASML's systems. That work involved cross-platform implementation, cross-cultural management, and information security for the… Show more As a senior technical manager, I was responsible for or contributed to various advanced software initiatives, including the roll-out of C++ for implementation work.

Applied expertise for domain-specific language (DSL) design and implementation, as well as algorithmics for modelling and predictive analytics in big-data systems for domains such as oil & gas, financial markets, medical and insurance.

Applying my expertise in pattern matching algorithms to software/hardware co-design in hardware-accelerated network processing solutions, such as network security.

This extraordinary (research) position relating to my former full-time position in Pretoria. The group continues to do excellent work in the research directions I initiated.

This role was effectively the same as the one as Full Professor in Eindhoven (simultaneously), involving the buildup of research capacity under the bilateral agreement between the two universities.

As co-CTOs (along with Dr. Linard Karklin), we provided technical leadership and vision for a range of very effective software products in layout optimization and nanometer (deep submicron) DFM. Our customers included virtually all of the leading IDMs and fabless semiconductor companies (including Intel, Sony, Panasonic, Micron, Qualcomm, etc.).

High-performance software and hardware (reconfigurable) co-design, especially in areas for pattern matching and recognition.

As research, innovation and management leader for this research group, I oversaw all research projects, numerous Masters and PhD students, and curriculum developments in the general area of software construction.Expertise and specialisation include high-performance computing, compiler & programming language design and implementation, algorithm design, pattern matching, network security, and silicon compilation.This role was intimately connected to my tenured position at University of… Show more As research, innovation and management leader for this research group, I oversaw all research projects, numerous Masters and PhD students, and curriculum developments in the general area of software construction.Expertise and specialisation include high-performance computing, compiler & programming language design and implementation, algorithm design, pattern matching, network security, and silicon compilation.This role was intimately connected to my tenured position at University of Pretoria.
