  I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. In July 1999, I joined the Department of Computer Science (Faculty of Science) at the University of Calgary. Since August 2003, I also hold a joint appointment with the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (Faculty of Medicine), where I am the Director of Bioinformatics in the Bachelor of Health Sciences Program. I lead the Evolutionary & Swarm Design (E&SD) research group of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. My research group is investigating how to apply evolutionary, swarm and collective intelligence techniques in various application domains. So far, the E&SD research group has built mathematical models, computer simulations and visualizations of traffic systems, army ants, neuron growth, biomolecular systems, gene regulatory systems, and swarm architectures. Some of the projects are described in detail at the ESD website: http://www.swarm-design.org. I have written two books on evolutionary computing and natural programming paradigms: Principia Evolvica (dpunkt, Heidelberg, 1997; in German) and Illustrating Evolutionary Computation with Mathematica (Morgan Kaufmann, San Francisco, 2001).
