Activities in research and development
The world of distributed multi-domain, data intensive computing keeps evolving at an unprecedented pace: projects, infrastructures, software and technology are thought of, designed, deployed - and superseded - continuously. Yet the underlying challenge remains: working together on data, globally, scalably, in a secure and trustworthy way. Making these infrastructures tick in a robust and sustainably way, and finding the fundamental properties of such systems in realistic, real-world environments, is what my work is about. At Nikhef, these activities are in the realm of the Physics Data Processing group.
At Maastricht University I joined its vibrant community at the
Faculty
of Science and Engineering's Department of Advanced Computing Sciences as endowed professor of e-Infrastructure as of April 1st, 2022.
Enjoy some of the many projects and services that make up this exciting work today:
- Scalable multi-domain security: AARC AAI for Research and Collaboration, GEANT EnCo: Enabling Communities, Interoperable Global Trust Federation, EGI Security Policy, EUGridPMA, EGI CSIRT, Open Grid Forum security and CAOPS-WG, WISE, GEANT TCS PMA, ...
- Systems and networks - advanced ICT Infrastructures for Research: Nikhef Data Processing Facility, CSIRT and security, Network, LHCOPN & LHCOne, SSO and NikIdM - federation support, compute and storage hardware and systems engineering, innovative procurement, ...
- Infrastructure and collaboration: Dutch National e-Infrastructure coordinated by SURF, Fundamental Sciences E-infrastructure FuSE, DNI Grid Platform, EGI Infrastructure, EOSC Security, AAI, Policy, and Infrastructure, CHEP and ISGC conferences, Research Data Management and Open Science, , (and the landmark former project BiG Grid), ...
After the defense of my thesiswork on electron-induced two-proton knockout from 3He, I joined Nikhef for the Virtual Laboratory project (aimed at the development of a distributed data infrastructure for applied experimental sciences) and the EU DataGrid project that developed the middleware and established the foundation for much of the distributed data processing in the Petabyte range we see today: the worldwide LHC Computing Grid WLCG, the European e-Infrastructure EGI, and many of the national computing and data infrastructures we find today.
