Academic Achievements
- Made significant contributions to the theoretical and practical aspects of the empirical analysis of multi-objective optimization algorithms. Has a track record of working on practical problems, both well-known academic problems with important practical applications and real-world optimization problems. Developed several widely used software tools such as irace, hypervolume computation, and EAF computation and visualization.
Research Experience
- Joined the University of Manchester as a full-time Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in October 2015. Was a 'Beatriz Galindo' Senior Distinguished Researcher at the University of Málaga, Spain, between May 1st, 2020, and July 31st, 2022. Before September 2015, was a Chargé de recherches (Postdoctoral researcher) of the Belgian F.R.S.-FNRS at IRIDIA, the AI laboratory of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels, Belgium.
Education
- M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Granada, Spain in 2004; Ph.D. from Edinburgh Napier University, U.K. in 2009.
Background
- Full Professor (Chair) of Optimisation at the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester. Main expertise in solving mathematical optimization problems arising in operations research, computer science, and engineering, including continuous, combinatorial, and multi-objective problems. Focuses on optimization methods such as metaheuristics, stochastic local search algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization, and Bayesian optimization.
