Hans L.M. Vangheluwe is a professor and researcher in the domain of computer simulation and modelling. He is currently professor at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, and at McGill University, Montreal. He was a co-founder of Modelica, a language for the acausal modelling of complex systems and computer automated multiparadigm modeling. [1] [2]

Career

Vangheluwe has a masters in physics from the University of Ghent (1986), followed by a masters in computer science (1988). He then worked at the University of Ghent as a research assistant under supervision of professor Ghislain Vansteenkiste, working in the area of biometrics and control engineering. He then was called up for military service, where he served as one of the two detaches in the "Beheerseenheid van het Mathematisch Model van de Noordzee en het Schelde Estuarium (BMM)" of the Belgian Navy, showing his proficiency in simulation of the physical world. He obtained a FWO grant to work in the Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) in Morgantown, West Virginia in 1996. Vangheluwe was employed at the University of Ghent as a project leader between 1994 and 1999. He received his PhD in science in 2000 at the University of Ghent. Afterwards, he started working as an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In 2005, he was named a tenured professor at McGill University. In 2009, Vangheluwe returned to Belgium to work as a full professor at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.

He has contributed in topics such as the modelling of wastewater treatment, [3] tool-building for model-driven engineering, [4] DEVS [5] and model transformation [6]

Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. One well known subject classification system for computer science is the ACM Computing Classification System devised by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Software development is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
