Students Projects

My research interest include evolutionary algorithms, autonomous search, hyper-heuristics, combinatorial optimisation, modelling complex systems, machine learning, and the applications of these methodologies to solve real-world problems (in medicine, biology and software engineering).  This page provides my  involvement with student supervision and projects.
