My main activities are:

Job: I'm a (full) professor in computer science at the Eindhoven University of Technology with this professional website

Photography: Many public and private images are served by Zenfolio.

Music: This is my most intense hobby, consisting of conducting, playing and arranging music.

  • I'm conductor of the accordion orchestra Avanti and occasionally lead workshops organized by the Antwerp accordion federation or by VLAMO.
  • I play the piano, piano-accordion, button accordion (C-griff), accordina and bass accordion and am a member of Avanti (in Antwerp), Accordeana (in Helmond) and REL (in Almere).
  • I arrange all types of music for acordion and accordion orchestra; these arrangements are freely available from this site.
  • I also tune (and repair) accordions. I simply cannot stand it when my (or someone else's) accordion is out of tune so I have learned to tune accordions (many thanks to Henk Vos).

3D printing: When something breaks and it can be fixed with a plastic part I design it and print on my Makerbot
