Arnaud Liefooghe is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of the Littoral Opal Coast (ULCO), France. He is the co-director of the MODŌ international lab between France and Japan. Prior to this, he was an Associate Professor at the University of Lille from 2010 to 2023, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Coimbra in 2010. In 2020, he was on a CNRS sabbatical at JFLI and an Invited Professor at the University of Tokyo. From 2021, he has been appointed as a Collaborative Professor at Shinshu University, Japan. His research focuses on the foundations, design, and analysis of local search and evolutionary computation algorithms, with a particular interest in multi-objective optimization and landscape analysis. He has co-authored over a hundred peer-reviewed scientific papers in international journals and conferences. He received the best paper award at EvoCOP 2011, GECCO 2015, GECCO 2023, and WCCI/CEC 2024. He was the co-Program Chair of EvoCOP in 2018 and 2019, and took on various roles at GECCO: Proceedings Chair in 2018, co-EMO Track Chair in 2019, Virtualization Chair in 2021, and co-Hybrid Scheduling Chair in 2023. Currently, he serves as the Reproducibility Chair for the ACM Transactions on Evolutionary Learning and Optimization (TELO), and as the co-Track Chair of the new Benchmarking, Benchmarks, Software, and Reproducibility (BBSR) track for GECCO 2024.
