Dr. Hans Weigand (1959) has studied Computer Science and Mathematics at the Free University in Amsterdam. His Ph.D thesis was about the application of linguistic theory in knowledge engineering. In 1989 he moved to Tilburg and worked as senior-researcher in the ESPRIT II project SPRITE (database support for technical documentation). Since 1991 he is Lecturer at the Faculty of Economics of Tilburg University and participates in the LIKE project sponsored by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) . His research interests include conceptual modelling, logics for knowledge representation, computational linguistics as well as interoperable databases and systems to support cooperative work.

Hans Weigand is scientific editor of the ITK THINK Magazine.
