Aymeric Blot

Aymeric Blot is a tenured lecturer at ISTIC, Université de Rennes, and research fellow in the DiverSE group at IRISA/INRIA Rennes. His research focuses on genetic improvement of software, automated algorithm design, and multi-objective optimization. He develops frameworks like Magpie for automated software performance improvement and PyGGI for genetic improvement.

Blot investigates search heuristics for software optimization, multi-objective local search algorithms, and automatic configuration methods. His work combines evolutionary computation with practical software engineering challenges to enhance non-functional software properties.
