🏰 Yvo Ad Meeres 🏯

🏗️ the ROBUST researcher🪢

First name: Yvo, Last name: Ad Meeres

A robust system can cope with errors. Robustness implies fault-tolerance. Mathematical rigor helps.

My research interest is (technical) robustness from an interdisciplinary perspective. I love to describe robust data and communication in a mathematically precise way, from the view-point of neuroscience, cognition and artificial intelligence.

Mimicking human intelligence for robust behavior in technical systems is one of the goals I would like to accomplish in my life time as a researcher.

FLOSS in general and especially XMPP are my open-source activities.

My research methods are drawn from Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematics: Automata Theory, Formal Language Theory, Category Theory, Graph Theory, Complexity Theory and Logic as well as from Language Acquisition Research and Neuroscience.
