Welcome and thanks for your interest in these pages. Although not all information is up to date, and (maybe even worse) not even all relevant information is present in the first place, I hope that some of it may be useful to you.

Background

After the defense of my thesiswork on electron-induced two-proton knockout from Helium-3 in 2000, I joined Nikhef for the ICES/KIS Virtual Laboratory project (aimed at the development of a Grid infrastructure for applied experimental sciences) and the EU DataGrid project (development of middleware and a test bed for doing distributed data processing in the Petabyte range). These projects, as well as their successors Virtual Lab for e-Science and EGEE, remain to capture my interest by focussing in the key challenges that face computing in experimental science today: the scaling issues in large-scale generic infrastructures, the security and policies issues related to actual deployment, and applying them to a real-world problem: the challenges of physics today. And with the latest generation of projects such as BiG Grid, we are setting the scene for the sustainable and persistent e-Science Infrastructure in the Netherlands, firmly embedded in the European and international context.
