Short Bio

Eelco Visser is Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology. He received a master's and doctorate in computer science from the University of Amsterdam in 1993 and 1997, respectively. Previously he served as postdoc at the Oregon Graduate Institute, and as Assistant Professor at Utrecht University.

His research interests include software language engineering, domain-specific languages, model-driven engineering, program transformation, software deployment, and interaction design.

With his students he has designed and implemented the Spoofax language workbench, as well as many domain-specific languages, including DSLs for syntax definition (SDF), program transformation (Stratego), software deployment (Nix), web application development (WebDSL), and mobile phone applications (mobl). He is the main developer of the researchr bibliography management system.

Slightly Longer Bio

Eelco Visser is Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology. He received an MSc and Doctorate in Computer Science from the University of Amsterdam in 1993 and 1997, respectively. Previously he served as a Postdoc at the Oregon Graduate Institute from 1997 to 1998, and as Assistant Professor at Utrecht University from 1998 to 2006.

Visser has published over 90 publications in conferences and journals. His research includes contributions to declarative syntax definition and parsing (SDF/SGLR), high-level definition of program transformations (Stratego), language workbenches (Spoofax), modular language definition, domain-specific languages for web programming (WebDSL/mobl), and declarative models for (distributed) software deployment (Nix). He is project leader of the NWO (Jacquard) projects TraCE, TFA, MoDSE, and PDS, which have produced several open source software systems used in research and industry.

Visser is an active member of the programming languages community and has served on many program committees of the important conferences in the field including OOPSLA, ECOOP, MODELS, SLE, and GPCE. Recently he was general chair of the ACM International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2010), and program chair of the International Conference on Model Transformation (ICMT 2011) and of Onward! 2011. He is member of the ACM (SIGPLAN) and the IEEE Computer Society. He is founding member of the IFIP Working Groups 2.11 (Program Generation) and 2.16 (Language Design), and he serves as chair of the latter.
