as Assistant at the IWONL-Centre prior to becoming Research Associate and later Research Director for the National Funds of Scientific Research. In 1987, he also became Lecturer and few years later Professor at the K. U. Leuven. Since 1998, he is Full Professor at the K. U. Leuven and Head of the Division M3-Biores (Measure, Model & Manage Bioresponses). During the last 15 years, the research group M3-Biores, un-der the guidance of Daniel Berckmans, further expanded and currently counts 20 researchers who prepare their Ph.D. Approx. 85 master theses for engineers have been finished and over 460 papers published in journals and proceedings, in co-operation with several research groups all over the world. 9 Ph.D. students obtained their Ph.D. degree in the last 5 years. Daniel Berckmans has been a member of more than 56 Ph.D. commissions in 6 different countries. Since 1982, a total of 9 products have been dev-eloped for the world market, in co-operation with industrial.
