is a theoretical computer scientist from The Netherlands who is working
in a senior research position at Kobe Advanced ICT Research Center,
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan.
He is best known for his research on Nanocomputing, Asynchronous
systems, Cellular automaton, Reconfigurable hardware and Instantaneous
Noise-based logic. His research goals are to develop next-generation
computing and communication architectures and also schemes enhanced by
Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics including Single-electron
transistors. Particular topics of his research include the reduction of
energy requirement, the exploitation of noise and fluctuations for
informatics, and the features of molecular self-organization and
self-assembly. He was the Chair of the Fourth International Workshop on
Natural Computing and acted as a co-editor of the book Natural
Computing. He is a member of editorial board of the International
Journal of Unconventional Computing.
