Alberto Moraglio is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Computer Science in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Exeter, UK. He holds a PhD in Computer Science, and Masters and Bachelor degrees in Computer Engineering. He has been active in Evolutionary Computation research for the last 15 years with a substantial publication record in the area. He is the founder of the Geometric Theory of Evolutionary Algorithms, which unifies Evolutionary Algorithms across representations and has been used for the principled design of new successful search algorithms and for their rigorous theoretical analysis. He has pioneered the use of semantics in Genetic Programming, and invented Geometric Semantic Genetic Programming, a novel and very successful form of Genetic Programming with strong theoretical foundations, which has gained wide adoption in applications and has been used and extended by many research groups world-wide. He has organised a series of workshops and has regular invited tutorials at GECCO, IEEE CEC and PPSN on the topic. He has served as co-chair of the Theory Track, the Genetic Programming Track and the Genetic Algorithms Track at GECCO, co-chair of the European Conference on Genetic Programming, and he is an associate editor of the Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machine journal (Springer).
