The lectures are given to Electrical Engineering students, to Computer Science student and of course to the Mathematics students. In his spare ``research time'' Jan was working on a dynamic model for a water distribution network, using the theory of identification of parameters in Large Scale Networks. After this Jan concentrated mainly on topics related to Discrete Event Systems.

In 2000 Jan move over to the Department of Computer Science to become the programme manager of the study Telematics.
