Programming
Steven Gustafson is a computer scientist at the General Electric Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. As a member of the Computational Intelligence Lab, he develops and applies advanced AI and machine learning algorithms for complex problem solving. He received his PhD in computer science from the University of Nottingham, UK, where he was a research fellow in the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning Research Group. He received his BS and MS in computer science from Kansas State University, where he was a research assistant in the Knowledge Discovery in Databases Laboratory. His PhD dissertation, an analysis of a biologically inspired search algorithm in the space of computer programs, was nominated for the British Computer Society and the Conference of Professors and Heads of Computing Distinguished Dissertation award, which recognises the top PhD thesis in the UK computer science community. In 2005 and 2006, he coauthored papers that won the Best Paper Award at the European Conference on Genetic Programming. Outside of work, Gustafson enjoys literature and travelling with his wife and infant son.",

Richard A. Watson University of Southampton
Richard A. Watson is a senior lecturer in the natural systems research group at the University of Southampton's School of Electronics and Computer Science. He received his BA in AI from the University of Sussex in 1990 and then worked in industry for about five years. Returning to academia, he chose Sussex again for an MSc in knowledge-based systems, where he was introduced to evolutionary modelling. His PhD in computer science at Brandeis University (2002) resulted in 22 publications and a dissertation addressing the algorithmic concepts underlying the major transitions in evolution. A postdoctoral position at Harvard University's Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology provided training to complement his computer science background. He now has over 35 journal and conference publications on topics spanning artificial life, robotics, evolutionary computation, and computational biology. At Southampton, he's establishing a new research group and leading preparation of a new MSc in complexity science. He is the author of Compositional Evolution: The Impact of Sex, Symbiosis, and Modularity on the Gradualist Framework of Evolution (MIT Press, 2006).",
