Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, USA.

Before joining the University of Delaware, I was a doctoral student at the Institut de Recherches Interdisciplinaires et de Développements en Intelligence Artificielle (IRIDIA) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium.

This academic year (2011-2012), I am teaching single and multivariable calculus to undergraduate students.

My main research interest is swarm intelligence, which is the collective problem-solving behavior of groups of animals or artificial agents. I have worked on the three main areas of application of swarm intelligence: data mining, optimization, and swarm robotics.
