Tom Verhoeff

Tom Verhoeff is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computing Science of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), working within the Software Engineering & Technology group. His research focuses on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), and the intersection of mathematics, computing, and the arts. He teaches courses in data analytics, programming, algorithms, theoretical computer science, and logic.

Verhoeff earned both his MSc and PhD in Technical Science (Mathematics and Computer Science) from TU/e. He is actively involved in promoting mathematics and informatics through initiatives like the annual Bridges conference, and serves as board member and treasurer of the Dutch Mathematics Olympiad, as well as chair of the Koos Verhoeff MathArt foundation. He has also held roles as guest lecturer in Lithuania and Finals Director for the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.

Research Interests: Verhoeff’s work spans Model-Driven Engineering, domain-specific language development, and 3D geometric modeling. His scholarship often explores symmetry, recursion, and mathematical visualization, particularly through computational art and algorithmic puzzles. Recent publications highlight 3D rotation methods, knot theory, and mathematical art using lattice paths and geometric transformations.

Scientific Awards:

• ACM ICPC European Founders Award (2004)
• IOI Distinguished Service Award (2007)
• Second Place in the 2022 Wolfram Computational Art Contest

Notable Collaborations and Affiliations: He is affiliated with the Esprit Working Group on Asynchronous Circuit Design (ACiD-WG), WIRE (TUE Mathematics Alumni), ACM (Senior Member), CSTA, IEEE Computer Society, and Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG).
