Bio: I am a researcher at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics, CTU in Prague. I received the M.Sc. degree in computer science and the Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence and biocybernetics from Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague, in 1994 and 2001, respectively.
My research has mainly focused on various evolutionary computation techniques and their applications to complex optimization problems. Currently, my interests include a design of efficient symbolic regression techniques using prior knowledge to construct nonlinear models of dynamic systems and applications of machine learning techniques to flexible production systems.
