Research
The goal of my research was to help bridge the gap between evolutionary
algorithm (EA) theory and practice. I developed a set of tools
- based on quantitative genetics theory - which practitioners can use to
instrument an existing EA. The data collected during a run will allow one to
identify and diagnose problems by observing how the algorithm searches the
problem landscape.
