Michael Affenzeller received the Researcher Award 2018 for his contributions in the field of heuristic optimization and artificial intelligence. Congratulations!

We are very proud to announce, that our long-time colleague Stephan Winkler finished his habilitation at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz.

This is a huge success not only for him, but also for the research group HEAL and gives us new perspectives in researching and supervising theses!

Congratulations!

At this year's Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in Kyoto, our research group was again represented with a large delegation of experienced and young researchers. The GECCO Conference is one of the most important and prestigious conferences for the latest high-quality results in genetic and evolutionary computation since 1999.
