Research foci

My research is focussed on nature-inspired optimisation algorithms, also known as metaheuristics or evolutionary algorithms. A main part of my work is the analysis of algorithmic behaviour, especially in relation to the components causing or influencing it. This is why I examine this topic from a conceptual perspective, highlighting similarities and differences of the optimisation algorithms, as well as from an empirical perspective, performing experiments to quantify the influence of different components on the overall algorthmic behaviour.

 

In addition, I am interested in possibilities of combining metaheuristics and machine learning techniques, parallel and distributed algorithms, and methods and tools for experimental and statistical analyses of optimisation algorithms. I am also interested in applying metaheuristics to optimisation problems, especially from the field of bioinformatics.
