I am a professor of computer science in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham and the Director of the Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational Intelligence and Applications (CERCIA). I'm also a Fellow of IEEE, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Nature Inspired Computation and Applications Laboratory (NICAL) of University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China.

After six years (2003-08), the maximum possible term allowed by IEEE, as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, I've stepped down as the EiC and become the 2009 Vice President for Publications of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. As always, I encourage you to continue to submit your best papers to IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation. The submission website is http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tevc-ieee. If you have any questions or encounter problems, please contact the new EiC (Dr. Garry Greenwood), not me.
My research interests include evolutionary computation (evolutionary optimization, evolutionary learning, evolutionary design), neural network ensembles and multiple classifiers (especially on the diversity issue), meta-heuristic algorithms, data mining, computational complexity of evolutionary algorithms, and various real-world applications.
