André van der Hoek is a professor in the
Department of Informatics
at the University of California, Irvine. He holds a joint B.S.
and M.S. degree in Business-Oriented Computer Science from
Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and a Ph.D. degree in
Computer Science from the
University of Colorado at Boulder.
André heads the Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory, which focuses on
understanding and advancing the role of design, coordination, and education in software development. His graduate work addressed
distributed configuration management and versioned software architecture from a strictly 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 integrates a strong focus on people and how they work.
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
developing and critically evaluating new approaches to teaching
software engineering, particularly for those topics that traditionally
are difficult to address in the classroom.
