Carlos M. Fonseca

4-Carlos

Carlos M. Fonseca is an Associate Professor at the Departament of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and the Head of the Evolutionary and Complex Systems (ECOS) group of the Centre for Informatics and Systems of the University of Coimbra (CISUC). His research has been devoted mainly to evolutionary computation and multi-­objective optimization. In the 1990’s, he proposed MOGA, a “first­-generation” multi­objective evolutionary algorithm with support for progressive preference articulation through goals and priorities, and began the development of the attainment­-function approach to the experimental evaluation of stochastic multi-­objective optimization algorithms. Since then, he has focused on the study of evolutionary algorithm dynamics, including representation and convergence aspects; further development of statistical methodologies for the experimental evaluation of multi-­objective optimization algorithms, and of efficient algorithms to support them; and the development of new, computationally efficient, approaches to preference articulation in evolutionary multi-objective optimization. Carlos Fonseca was a General co­Chair of the International Conference on Evolutionary Multi­-Criterion Optimization (EMO) in 2003, 2009 and 2013, and a Technical co-Chair of the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) in 2000 and 2005. He is a member of the Evolutionary Multi­-Criterion Optimization Steering Committee, and of the Portuguese Operations Research Association (APDIO).
