Invitation
Following my appointment as part-time professor of Evolutionary
Algorithms at the department of Software Technology of the faculty
of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Delft
University of Technology, I will give my inaugural speech on
Friday, September 6, 2019 at 15:00 hours in the Aula of
the Delft University of Technology.
Prior to my inaugural speech a symposium will be held,
featuring the work of world-leading researchers who are active
at the frontiers of the design, development, analysis, and
application of evolutionary algorithms.
You are cordially invited to attend both events.
However, if you plan to attend the symposium, please
register below due to limited seating at the symposium (120
seats). No registration is required for the inaugural speech (there
are sufficient seats in the Aula).
More information on the program of the day and travel
information can be found by scrolling this page.
I hope to see you there!

Acknowledgments
I am very grateful for the financial support that makes the symposium
and inaugural speech possible, coming from both Delft University of
Technology (TU Delft), where I have my part-time professorship for 1
day per week, and the Dutch national research center for mathematics
and computer science (CWI - Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica), where
I maintain my senior researcher position for 4 days per week.
