Advances in Linear Genetic Programming

Wolfgang Banzhaf is the John R. Koza Chair for Genetic Programming, the first endowed chair dedicated to Evolutionary Computation in the United States, and a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA. His research interests are in the field of bio-inspired computing, notably evolutionary computation and complex adaptive system, and in particular genetic programming and artificial life. He is the (co-)author of more than 300 scientific contributions and 7 patents. His books and edited volumes include “Genetic Programming – An Introduction” (1998), “Linear Genetic Programming” (2007), “Artificial Chemistries” (2015) and most recently, the “Handbook of Evolutionary Machine Learning” (2024).
