Within ASML, he is leading a research group consisting of (SW) architects, scientific programmers, (academic) researchers, and PhD, PDEng, and MSc students. Together with this group, he combines state-of-the-art methods and techniques from academia with state-of-the-practice in industry into so-called multi-disciplinary system engineering (MDSE) ecosystems. These ecosystems empower their users to develop complex, large-scale, software intensive systems. He has successfully introduced several MDSE ecosystems in the development process and products of ASML.
