RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My research is mainly concerned with the usage of Learning Classifier Systems (LCS), a family of evolutionary rule-based online machine learning algorithms, to strengthen the self-learning property of OC systems. I pursue the aim of unlocking the strong potential this learning paradigm exhibits. Therefore, I am enhancing its algorithmic structure toward a more proactive means of gathering new knowledge and, thus, building up an interpretable knowledge base.   

Beside my research focus, I'm also very interested in:

• Further Evolutionary Machine Learning algorithms (GP, CGP, etc.)
• Machine Learning in general and its unsolved challenges
• Computational Intelligence in general 
• Organic Computing, Autonomic Computing and general Self-* Systems
