Hi, My name is Yuri Lavinas.

I’m an associate professor at the University of Toulouse, France and I’m on the REVA team. I did a postdoc research working with histopathology image analysis for cancer treatment with Genetic Programming in the IRIT@CRCT group. I got my PhD degree from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. Originally, I’m from Brazil, where I did my undergraduate course, at the University of Brasilia.

My research interests are related to Computational Intelligence, such as Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life, with a greater focus on multi-objective optimization, fitness landscape and Genetic Programming. Overall, I’m interested in programs that can adapt themselves, in applications of Evolutionary Computation (black box optimization, multi-agent systems, games), as well as more speculative use of these Computational Intelligence for Artificial Life ( such as the evolution of virtual creatures and the worlds where the live).
