André van der Hoek is an associate professor in the
Department of Informatics of the
Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences
and a faculty member of the
Institute for Software Research,
both at the University of California, Irvine. He holds a joint B.S.
and M.S. degree in Business-Oriented Computer Science from the
Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and a Ph.D. degree in
Computer Science from the
University of Colorado at Boulder.
André's research focuses on understanding and advancing the role of
design, coordination, and education in software. His graduate work addressed
distributed configuration management and versioned software architecture from
a technical perspective, but since his arrival at
UC Irvine
he has been "positively corrupted" by his
colleagues
in the
Department of Informatics
to address a broader
research agenda
that examines his work from a multitude of different perspectives.
Education is a key interest of André. He was the
principal designer of the new
B.S. in Informatics
at UC Irvine,
and is responsible for delivering several courses in this innovative
curriculum. His research bridges into the educational realm by looking
for, realizing, and evaluating new approaches to teaching software
engineering, particularly for those topics that traditionally are
difficult to communicate.
