Erik P. de Vink

Erik P. de Vink is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. He also serves as an Associated Research Fellow at CWI, the Dutch National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science. His research focuses on formal methods, software product lines, dynamic system adaptation, and probabilistic process algebra. He has held roles such as Treasurer of Formal Methods Europe and organized symposia like the International Symposium on Formal Methods (2018). His academic background includes a PhD from VU Amsterdam, a Senior Researcher position at KPN, and prior teaching at Leiden University.

Key research interests include formal modeling of software systems using tools like mCRL2 and Prism, analysis of feature-behavior interactions in software product lines, and validation techniques for dynamic system adaptation. He has co-promoted 9 PhD students in areas like denotational semantics, security, and probabilistic process algebra. His work integrates theoretical computer science with practical applications in distributed systems and concurrency.

Recent articles explore topics such as formal methods education, bisimulation in polyhedral models, and probabilistic process analysis. He contributes to open-source tool development (e.g., mCRL2) and has published extensively in journals like Formal Aspects of Computing and Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming.
