Ales Zamuda received B.Sc. degree in computer science from University of Maribor in 2006 and M.Sc. degree in computer science from University of Maribor in 2008. He is currently a PhD candidate and affiliated with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Maribor. His areas of interest include evolutionary algorithms, multicriterion optimization, artificial life, and computer animation. His current research is in the field of multicriterion optimization, where he is researching self adaptive techniques for differential evolution. He is a IEEE member and also a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation and other prominent scientific journals.
