science from the University of Michigan in 1975. He is currently a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at George Mason University and head of the Evolutionary Computation Laboratory. His research interests include genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation,
machine learning, and complex adaptive systems. He is currently involved in research projects involving the development of new evolutionary algorithm (EA) theory, the use of EAs as high performance optimization techniques, and the application of EAs to the
problem of learning task programs in domains such as robot navigation and game playing. He is an active member of the Evolutionary Computation research community and has been involved in organizing many of the workshops and conferences in this area. He is
the founding editor-in-chief of the journal Evolutionary Computation (MIT Press), and a member of the board of ACM SIGEVO. He is the recipient of an IEEE Pioneer award in the field of Evolutionary Computation and a lifetime achievement award from the Evolutionary
Programming Society.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
