Profile of the day
Evert Haasdijk
After my Master's in Artificial
Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam in 1992 (or was it ’93? I
forget), I became researcher (i.e., I developed cool software) and
later research consultant (I tried to convince other people to use my
cool software) and development co-ordinator (I tried to convince others
to write cool software for which I could take credit) at Cap Gemini
Innovation (which was renamed every other year, at the time I left, it was
called Cap Gemini Institute). My main area of interest was data mining
based on evolutionary algorithms.
In 2000, I became partner and director of software development at KiQ Ltd (later taken over by Chordiant), where I was responsible for the technical development of our Intelligent CRM suite of applications.
After a brief intermezzo as a free-lance programmer, I joined Tilburg University as research assistant on the NEW TIES project in 2006, where I investigated social learning adaptation mechanisms in artificial agents.
Since March 2008, I've been employed as researcher at Gusz Eiben's computational intelligence group at the Amsterdam Free University, particularly with the Symbrion project, where our group is responsible for the development of a framework for on- as well as off-line evolutionary algorithms for development and adaptation of robot controllers.
Within the field of evolutionary algorithms, my interests are eclectic, but I currently focus on embodied/situated evolution, evolutionary algorithms for agent-based systems and learning classifier systems for robot control.
