Leandro Nunes de Castro

Leandro Nunes de Castro received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Goiás, Goiânia, Brazil, in 1996, and M.S. degree in control engineering and Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from the State University of Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, in 1998 and 2001, respectively. He was a Research Associate with the Computing Laboratory at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK from 2001 to 2002, and is currently a Visiting Lecturer at the School of Computer and Electrical Engineering at Unicamp. His research interests include artificial immune systems, artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and artificial life. Dr. de Castro is a member of the IEEE, and the SBA (Brazilian Society of Automation). He has been a referee for a number of conferences and journals related to computational intelligence, such as the Soft Computing Journal, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, and IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks.
