Marc Schoenauer

Marc Schoenauer is a Research Director with the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA). He graduated at École Normale Supèrieure in Paris, and obtained the Ph.D. degree in numerical analysis at Université Paris 6 in 1980. From 1980 until August 2001, he has been full-time Researcher with CNRS, working at École Polytechnique. He is currently heading the TAO team (Machine Learning and Optimization) at INRIA together with Michèle Sebag. Marc Schoenauer has been working in the field of evolutionary computation since the early 1990s and is author of more than 60 papers in journals and major conferences of that field. He is or has been advisor of 18 Ph.D. students. He has also been part-time Associate Professor at École Polytechnique in the Applied Mathematics Department from 1990 to 2004. Marc Schoenauer is Senior Fellow and Member of the board of the International Society of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (ISGEC), that has now become the ACM Special Interest Group for Evolutionary Computation (SIGEVO). He was Member of the Executive Committee of the European Network of Excellence on Evolutionary Computation (Evonet) since its first funding in 1996 until its end in 2003, has served in the IEEE Technical Committee on Evolutionary Computation from 1995 to 1999, and is Member of the PPSN Steering Committee. He was the founding President (1995–2002) of Evolution Artificielle, who organizes the series of conferences on Evolution Artificielle. He was General Chair of PPSN'2000 Conference in Paris. Marc Schoenauer is Editor-in-Chief of Evolutionary Computation Journal and has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation from 1996 until 2004, and of the Theoretical Computer Science: Theory of Natural Computing (TCS-C) journal from 2001 until 2006. He is an Associate Editor of the Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal, and of the Journal of Applied Soft Computing.
