Royal decoration for Jos Baeten

ILLC Emeritus Professor Jos Baeten received a Royal Decoration from the mayor of Eindhoven, Jos' city of residence. Jos has been appointed Officer in the Order of Oranje-Nassau; he received this honour for his many achievements in computer science.

Jos is an internationally acclaimed researcher in Theoretical Computer Science, who is probably best known for his seminal work in the area of process algebra. He served from 2011-2020 as the director of CWI, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science (and ILLC's neighbour in Science Park). After being a professor at the Technical University of Eindhoven for many years, Jos held a chair in Theory of Computing at ILLC from 2015 until his retirement in 2020.

The ILLC proudly congratulates Jos with this newly acquired dignity and honour.
