Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Mekelweg, Delft, Netherlands
Symposium and Inaugural Lecture: Peter Bosman
Peter Bosman, senior researcher at CWI and full professor at TU Delft will be giving his inaugural lecture at the Aula of the Delft University of Technology.
This lecture is preceded by a symposium on Evolutionary Algorithms, which encompasses evolutionary optimization and evolutionary AI. The symposium will feature the work of world-leading researchers who are active at the frontiers of the design, development, analysis, and application of evolutionary algorithms.
The symposium and the inaugural lecture are free to attend but please register though this link.
