He received his Laurea degree in physics, and his Ph.D. degree in computer science, both from the University of Naples “Federico II,” Italy, in 1993 and 1999, respectively. From 1999 to 2003, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Salerno, Italy. In 2004, he joined the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Salerno, Italy, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of computer science and artificial intelligence. He is a Member of the ACM, IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the European Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing (EvoNet), the Machine Learning Network (MLNet), Knowledge Discovery Network of Excellence (KDNet), AIIA (ECCAI–Italian Chapter). Dr. Cioppa serves as a Program Committee member of many international conferences such as Genetic and Evolutionary Conference and Conference on Evolutionary Computation. He has been active in the fields of artificial intelligence and cybernetics. His current research interests are in the fields of theoretical and computational physics (complexity, statistical mechanics of equilibrium and nonequilibrium phenomena, theory of dynamical systems, chaos), prebiotic evolution, Darwinian dynamics and speciation, evolutionary computation, and artificial life.
