Summary
Eric Van Herwijnen is an experienced software and control-systems engineer with over two decades of hands-on work designing and operating complex monitoring and run-control frameworks for large-scale physics experiments. Based at CERN for nearly forty years and now an Academic Associate in Switzerland, he has led technical teams building the LHCb online monitoring, histogramming, and data-quality systems that keep detector and trigger performance under control. He combines high-level application programming with practical systems design, supervising PhD students and developer teams to translate intricate technical discussions into clear, operational solutions. Known for enabling diverse user groups to perform efficient monitoring in heterogeneous environments, he brings a rare blend of theoretical physics training (PhD) and production-grade software leadership.
