Prof. Carlos Artemio Coello Coello, Department of Computer Science CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexic

IEEE Fellow,  Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation

Professor Carlos Artemio Coello Coello received a PhD in Computer Science from Tulane University (USA) in 1996. He is currently full professor with distinction at CINVESTAV-IPN in Mexico City, Mexico. He has published over 380 papers in international peer-reviewed journals,book chapters, and conferences. He has also co-authored the book Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems, which is now in its Second Edition (Springer, 2007) and has co-edited the book Applications of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (World Scientific, 2004). His publications currently report over 23,000 citations, according to Google Scholar (his h-index is 61).

He received the 2007 National Research Award (granted by the Mexican Academy of Science) in the area of exact sciences and, since January 2011, he is an IEEE Fellow for "contributions to multi-objective optimization and constraint-handling techniques."

He is also the recipient of the prestigious 2013 IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award and of the 2012 National Medal of Science and Arts in the area of Physical, Mathematical and Natural Sciences (this is the highest award that a scientist can receive in Mexico). He also serves as associate editor of the journals Evolutionary Computation, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, Computational Optimization and Applications and Applied Soft Computing.
