Staff
Hamid Reza Pourshaghaghi Pourshaghaghi was recently the project manager and team leader for the design and construction of the digital receiver system for the NCLE (Netherlands-China Low Frequency Explorer) radio telescope, which successfully launched to the other side of the Moon in May 2018. Roel Jordans Between September 2010 and December 2014 Roel was involved in the ASAM project as a PhD student under the supervision of prof.dr. H. Corporaal and dr.ir. L. Jozwiak. In this project he worked on automatic VLIW data-path synthesis for ASIPs. As part of this research, he tries to find the optimal issue-width and instruction-set of a VLIW processor based on the target application. Henk Corporaal Henk Corporaal is Full Professor in the Electronic Systems group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His early research interests revolved around theoretical physics, particle physics and super gravity. Heino Falcke Over the last couple of years, Heino has become engaged in the exploration of space, motivated by the possibility to put a LOFAR-like radiotelescope on the moon (see also ESA Space Exploration, ESA Exploration conference, Berlin) and worked as consultant to ESA and EADS. He is a member of the Definition Team of ESA's first Moon Lander study (phase B1). |
