Jan Van Deventer is an associate professor and systems engineer specializing in Cyber Physical Systems with over two decades of applied and academic experience bridging automotive active-safety engineering and embedded systems research. He has practical industry roots developing algorithms for race and production vehicles (including work on Alfa Romeo DTM platforms) and now focuses on sensors, actuators, runtime service discovery and cybersecurity, notably applying the Eclipse Arrowhead framework across manufacturing, smart cities, and vehicular domains. His work spans hands-on demonstrators—such as a golang training demo and an autonomous snowblower—and curriculum development for embedded and automotive systems, supervising final-year masters projects. Born into a multicultural background and trained in physics, mechanical and electrical engineering (PhD), he brings a rare combination of vehicle-level algorithmic experience, systems-level research, and practical tool-building to CPS problems.
