2022 The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 9-13 July 2022, Boston, USA


Organizing Committee

Josu Ceberio received the bachelor degree in Computer Sciece from the University of the Basque Country in 2007, and two years later he took his masters degree in Computer Science from the same university. Since 2010, he has been member of the Intelligent Systems Group where he obtained, in 2014, the PhD in Computer Science. Since 2014, he is lecturer at the University of the Basque Country, and currently, he is affiliated to the department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Faculty of Computer Science. He has co-authored more than 40 scientific publications in different journals and international conferences covering topics such as permutation-based combinatorial optimization problems, estimation of distribution algorithms, elementary landscape decomposition and, recently, neural combinatorial optimization. In recent years, he has actively participated in the organization of scientific events such as 2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation or 2020 ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (GECCO).
Rafael Villanueva is a researcher in Interdisciplinary Mathematics. My main area of interest is modeling infectious diseases, fitting their parameters with real data and simulating strategies to reduce their prevalence. To do that, differential equations, difference equations and networks are used. Moreover, he also works on the uncertainty of the real data and their effect on the model predictions. Finally, he also is lecturer of Mathematical Models in the Faculty of Business Administration and Management at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

Iñaki Hidalgo is Full Professor of Computing Science at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). He received a PhD in Physics from the same university in 2001 under the Informatics and Automation doctoral program, with a dissertation on application of evolutionary algorithms for computer architecture problems. He has published more than 150 papers in journals and international conferences, most of them related to RWA of EC. He was local chair of Gecco 2015 in Madrid and is currently co-chair of EvoApps 2022. Recently his group has been working on biomedical problems, some of them dealing with uncertainty not only of the data, but also of the model. He has successfully supervised 10 PhD theses and is currently supervising 4 PhD students.

Francisco Fernandez-de-Vega is Full Professor of Computer Architectures at the University of Extremadura. HereceivedhisPhDinComputerSciencefromthesameuniversityin2001,andwas awarded with the best PhD Engineering that year. He was University of Extremadura CIO from 2005-2007, and Vice-dean of Research at Centro Universitario de Mérida, from 2004-2005. He Has written more than 200 papers in International Conferences and Journals. His research in the confluence of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Arts and Music, has been internationally Awarded: best papers in PPSN 2002, EvoHot 2008; ACM Gecco 2013, Evolutionary Art, Design and Creativity Award, and recently Best AI APP Award 2021, by the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence. He was local chair for Evostar 2020 conference.
