My research interests are in the area of Computational Intelligence, encompassing hybrid intelligent systems, neural networks, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems, various nature inspired algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms, swarm optimization), ensembles of classifiers. Application areas include a wide range of Bioinformatics problems, fault diagnosis, web usage mining, process modelling and control, among others.
I have joined the Computing Laboratory, Oxford University, as a Departmental Lecturer in October 2001. Before joining the Computing Laboratory, I have worked as a Research Fellow with the Department of Engineering, University of Hull, UK, and as an Associate Professor with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Galati, Romania.
I have obtained my PhD at the University of Galati and my BEng/MEng in Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Bucharest, Romania.
