Wan Fokkink is a Full Professor in Model-Based System Engineering at the Control Systems Technology Group of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His expertise encompasses supervisory control synthesis, distributed algorithms, safety-critical software, protocol verification, and process algebra. Wan's research is focused on the analysis and design of distributed systems, particularly in the automatic synthesis of control software and formal verification of communication protocols and executable models in biological systems. His recent studies involve applying formal modeling and analysis techniques to automatically generate software for civil engineering structures such as bridges, dams, and tunnels. He emphasizes that the development process should utilize requirements to constrain possible behaviors, aiming to automatically transform these requirements into PLC code that governs movements, such as those of a bridge. Wan believes that software has been underestimated in the realm of mechanical engineering and strives for the development of software for civil engineering and logistic systems that ensures correctness, efficiency, and maintainability.
