Leonardo Vanneschi is a Full Professor (Professor Catedrático) at the NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. His main research interests involve Machine Learning, Data Science, Complex Systems, and in particular Evolutionary Computation. His work can be broadly partitioned into theoretical studies on the foundations of Evolutionary Computation, and applicative work. The former covers the study of the principles of functioning of Evolutionary Algorithms, with the final objective of developing strategies able to outperform the traditional techniques. The latter covers several different fields among which computational biology, image processing, personalized medicine, engineering, economics and logistics. He has published more than 260 contributions, 11 of which have been honored with international awards. He has led several research projects. His work is recognized and appreciated by the international community. In 2015, he was honoured with the Award for Outstanding Contributions to Evolutionary Computation in Europe, in the context of EvoStar, the leading European Event on Bio-Inspired Computation. Since 2018, we was consistently included in the list of the top 2% world scientists by the Stanford University, both for the current year and careerwise.
