Serge Demeyer is a professor at the University of Antwerp (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science) where he leads a research group investigating the theme of "Software Reengineering" (LORE - Lab On REengineering).
His main research interest concerns software engineering (more precisely, reengineering in an object-oriented context) but due to historical reasons he maintains a heavy interest in hypermedia systems as well. He is an active member of the corresponding international research communities, serving in various conference organization and program committees.
He has writen a book entitled "Object-Oriented Reengineering" en was the main editor of the "ECOOP'98 Workshop Reader". He also authored a considerable amount of peer reviewed articles, some of them in highly respected scientific journals.
He completed his M.Sc. in 1987 and his Ph.D. in 1996, both at the "Vrije Universiteit Brussel". After his Ph.D., he worked for three years in Switzerland, where he served as a technical co-ordinator of an European research project.

Research

My main field of research is Software Engineering, with a special interest in Reengineering and in Object-Oriented Development. Due to historical reasons, I maintain a heavy interest in Hypermedia, although I don't do any active research in that area anymore.

To read more on my research check out http://win.ua.ac.be/~sdemey/research.html. It's probably also worthwhile to check out the web-site of my research group http://www.lore.ua.ac.be/Research/. There is also a handy research report (in PDF) about our achievements for the period 2000 - 2008.
