Bruno GASPEROV (GAŠPEROV) PhD

Hi! 👋 I am Bruno.

I work in academia and am interested in the intersection of evolutionary computation and evolutionary research in biology. 

Currently I am a SMASH MSCA postdoctoral fellow with my project "Few shot evolutionary reinforcement learning in uncertain and dynamic environments" (FERLUDE) 

at the Laboratory for Adaptive Systems and Parallel Processing, Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana

For more information about the project, CLICK HERE.

My former and current collaborations:

both at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.

Research interests:

evolutionary computation| evolutionary reinforcement learning | (deep) reinforcement learning | decision making under uncertainty | landscape analysis | local search| quality-diversity | divergent search | bio-inspired computing | evolutionary research | intelligent optimization | meta-learning

Application domains: quantitative finance (market making, portfolio optimization) | cryptography (Boolean functions) 

I'm generally interested in applying an evolutionary lens to different problems as well as anything evolution-related 🦎.

You are very welcome to contact me here or here.
