About
The Company
Digital Manifold Waves (DMW) is a Belgian organization founded by Walter Daems in 2016.
From 2016 until 2023 we offered low cost information solutions for higher education. This included:
- color-printed course material at acceptable prices (as low as 0.045EUR/page)
- the production of well-lit top-down table top camera systems to facilitate making instructional videos
- typesetting scientific material using LaTeX
As of 2023, the business side was stopped because it was no longer break-even.
What it's all about
Most endeavours have a mission. We don't. So, your guess of what it is all about is as good as mine.
Walter Daems
After his MSc in Applied Engineering (Karel de Grote University
College, 1994) and MSc in Engineering (Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, 1996), he obtained a PhD
in Micro-electronics Engineering (Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, 2002).
After his PhD and some time as post-doc, in 2003, he cofounded
Kimotion Technologies Inc., a venture capital backed spin-off of the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven that later joined forces with Magwel.
In 2006, Walter started working for the Karel de Grote University College, department of Applied Engineering, as vice dean of the department, preparing the merging-in in the University of Antwerp. The merger took place in October 2013, merging the two engineering schools in Antwerp (Karel de Grote University College and Artesis University College) into one Faculty of Applied Engineering. Currently, he is a professor at the faculty. Until 2023, he was the chairman of the education steering committee and vice dean of the faculty. As of 2024 he acts as the academic responsible for the education quality control and innovation of the faculty.
Walter is an intense UNIX and GNU/Linux user and enthusiast, ranging from system administration over scripting to object oriented programming. In that he has experience programming CAD and DA software involving distributed computing and multithreading.
Walter also teaches basic courses on analog electronics, systems theory, control theory, digital signal and image processing. He is a typesetting enthusiast, always relying on LaTeX and its various packages. He even contributed a few packages on CTAN. Besides these technical hobbies, Walter plays the pipe organ and loves all kinds of music.
