Pat began his academic career in the Mathematics Department at St. Andrews University and while an assistant lecturer there completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1967 under the supervision of Andrew (Ron) Mitchell. In 1970, he immigrated to Canada to take up a regular faculty position at the University of Toronto (U of T), splitting his time between teaching in the undergraduate program at the U of T Scarborough College campus, and teaching graduate courses and supervising graduate students at the U of T St. George campus. In 1983, Pat moved to Dalhousie University (Dal) where he joined the newly established Division of Computing Science in the Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Department. He completed his career in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at Dal, retiring in 2007. During his 24 years at Dal, he taught many undergraduate students, supervised numerous graduate students in both mathematics and computer science, and held several administrative positions, including Department Chair.

Mondriaan can be used as a preprocessing tool for large parallel sparse matrix-vector multiplications. Version 4.1 contains several improvements and extensions: - The MondriaanOpt program has been incorporated, which offers a way to solve the sparse matrix bipartitioning problem to optimality. - The MondriaanOpt program is available as stand-alone program, as a Matlab routine, and as a linkable archive. - MondriaanPlot can now also generate SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images of partitionings. - Some minor bugfixes. The package and related documentation can be obtained from: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~bisse101/Mondriaan/ A database of optimal matrix bipartitionings for over 350 matrices from the University of Florida collection can be found at: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~bisse101/Mondriaan/Opt These results may be useful as a benchmark for bipartitioners. Mondriaan is written in C and distributed under the GNU LGPL license.

The aim of the PhD project is to develop decentralized and distributed control design approaches. For large networks it is expensive, if not impossible, to control all systems individually. Furthermore, the underlying theoretical framework is not adapted toward complex systems where the overall dynamics are largely determined by the interactions. Besides computing optimal controller parameters, the focus is on optimizing the topology of the network, that is, to determine which systems need to interact in order to optimize a global objective in an efficient way. While the focus is on development of computational methods, applications are foreseen in robotics and sensor networks. The PhD researcher will spend two years at KU Leuven and the final year at Ecole Centrale de Lille, and she/he will be awarded a joint doctoral diploma upon a successful completion. What do we offer? An interdisciplinary research project, a stimulating environment at two European top universities, a balanced and personalized PhD trajectory, with attention paid to transferable skills development and exposure to both academic and non-academic environments, and a highly competitive salary (MSCA program of the European Union). Eligibility criteria and application instructions can be found at the website http://ucocos-project.eu, position ESR5.
