معرفی
Carsten Witt is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), working within the Algorithms, Logic and Graphs section. His research is centered on theoretical aspects of evolutionary computation, with a strong emphasis on runtime analysis, genetic algorithms, and randomized search heuristics. He is actively involved in guiding PhD research and has a substantial publication record in top-tier conferences and journals.
- PhD in Computer Science, Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
- Postdoctoral research at Max Planck Institute for Informatics
- Professor at DTU since appointment
His primary research interests lie in evolutionary algorithms, runtime analysis, and probability theory in algorithmics. He investigates how bio-inspired optimization techniques such as genetic and compact genetic algorithms perform on benchmark problems like OneMax and LeadingOnes. His work often involves rigorous mathematical analysis to derive bounds on expected runtime and convergence behavior.
The recent articles show a consistent trend in the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation, particularly focusing on multi-valued representations, dynamic mutation strategies, neuroevolution models, and self-adjusting mechanisms. These works span subfields such as stochastic optimization, adaptive parameter control, and algorithmic analysis under probabilistic models. The dominant keywords include Computer Science, Theoretical Computer Science, Optimization, and Artificial Intelligence.
