- Riccardo Poli
Riccardo Poli is a
Professor in the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems of theUniversity of Essex . He started his academic career with aLaurea an electronic engineer from theUniversity of Florence in 1989. He then did a PhD in biomedical image analysis (1993) at the same university. He later became an expert in the field ofEvolutionary Computation working as aLecturer and then a Reader at theUniversity of Birmingham from 1994 until 2001, when he moved to Essex as a professor.Prof Poli has published around 240 refereed papers and two books (Langdon and Poli, 2002; Poli, Langdon, McPhee, 2008) on the theory and applications of
genetic programming ,evolutionary algorithms ,particle swarm optimisation , biomedical engineering,brain-computer interfaces ,neural networks ,image analysis ,signal processing ,biology andpsychology .He is a Fellow of the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (now ACM's SIGEVO special interest group)(2003–), a recipient of the EvoStar award for outstanding contributions to this field (2007), and an ACM SIGEVO executive board member (2007–2013). He was co-founder and co-chair of the European Conference on GP (EuroGP) (1998–2000, 2003). He was general chair (2004), track chair (2002, 2007), business committee member (2005), and competition chair (2006) of ACM’s Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, co-chair of the Foundations of Genetic Algorithms Workshop (FOGA) (2002) and technical chair of the International Workshop on AntColony Optimisation and Swarm Intelligence (2006).
Prof Poli is an associate editor of "Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines", "Evolutionary Computation" and the "International Journal of Computational Intelligence Research". He is an advisory board member of the "Journal on Artificial Evolution and Applications" and an editorial board member of "Swarm Intelligence".
He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, an EU expert evaluator and a grant-proposal referee for Irish, Swiss and Italian funding bodies.
