Thomas Nägele

I am currently working in the field of intelligent diagnostics at ESI (TNO). Recent projects I'm involved with develop model-based methodologies for diagnostics of high-tech systems. These projects are conducted in collaboration with ASML.

On January 31 2020 I've defended my PhD thesis called CoHLA: Rapid Co-simulation Construction. My PhD project started in September 2015 under the supervision of Jozef Hooman at the Software Science group at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. As part of the Robust Design of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) project of NWO-TTW (formerly STW) I'm working on a methodology that improves concurrent development of hardware and software for Cyber-Physical Systems using a model-based approach. My main focus is on the co-simulation of models from different domains using (a) Domain Specific Language(s) (DSL). During this project, a DSL was developed to rapidly construct co-simulations from different simulation models. This DSL is called CoHLA (Configuring HLA). Before working on this research I finished both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computing Science at the Radboud University in Nijmegen.
