RESEARCH
My academic research lies within computational intelligence or natural computing with evolutionary computing as the binding factor, see the thematic overview on the right hand side of this page. I was/am involved in various European research projects: EvoNet I (Esprit 20996), EvoNet II (FP5, IST-1999-14087), DREAM (FP5, IST-1999-12679), NEW TIES (FP6-502386), SYMBRION (FP7-ICT-2007.8.2), EVOBODY (FP7-258334),OPTI-FOX (FP7-123456), AWARE (FP7-123456)Further to academic research, I have worked in business intelligence R&D projects, including data warehousing and data mining for feature selection, creditibility assessment, direct marketing, customer retention analysis, sensory data analysis, e-business, etc. Much of this work is unpublished.
TEACHING
Presently I teach the course Evolutionary Computing and Heuristics on the VU Amsterdam. I am also supervising Bachelor projects, Master Thesis projects and PhD students.Previously, I have been teaching university courses on formal logic, search techniques, evolutionary computing, artificial life, evolutionary economy, and business intelligence on the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Utrecht University, Leiden University, and the VU Amsterdam. I was also lecturer of a business intelligence course for the e-Commerce Masters programme of the EUR, Rotterdam and for different business classes on the Universiteit Nyenrode, The Netherlands Business School.
