Home David GroepWelcome and thanks for your interest in these pages. I hope that some of the information you find here may be of use to you.
BackgroundAfter 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 EGI, continue this focus on 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 and like sciences 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.PGP key info and digital signature
