Digital Twins

Dr. Bedir Tekinerdogan is a full professor and chair of the Information Technology group at Wageningen University in The Netherlands. He received his MSc degree (1994) and a PhD degree (2000) in Computer Science, both from the University of Twente, The Netherlands. From 2003 until 2008 he was a faculty member at University of Twente, after which he joined Bilkent University until 2015. He has more than 20 years of experience in software engineering research and education. His main research includes the engineering of smart software-intensive systems. In particular, he has focused on and is interested in software architecture design, software product line engineering, model-driven development, parallel computing, cloud computing and system of systems engineering. He has been active in dozens of national and international research and consultancy projects with various large software companies whereby he has worked as a principal researcher and leading software/system architect. He has developed and taught more than 15 different academic software engineering courses and has provided software engineering courses to more than 50 companies in The Netherlands, Germany and Turkey. Dr. Cor Verdouw is a senior scientist at Wageningen University & Research in The Netherlands. He holds a degree in Business Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam and received his Ph.D. from Wageningen University. His research focusses on key areas such as business informatics, agri-food chains and digital innovation. He has over 20 years of experience in research and education within this field. He has extensive expertise in coordinating national and European research and innovation projects across diverse agri-food sectors. In addition to his academic work, he has gained industry experience as a business consultant and as an innovation manager at a horticulture-focused software company.
