Bio-Inspired Computation and Applications in Image Processing

Xin-She Yang obtained his DPhil in Applied Mathematics from the University of Oxford. He then worked at Cambridge University and National Physical Laboratory (UK) as a Senior Research Scientist. He is currently a Reader in Modelling and Simulation at Middlesex University London, Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Application (IMA) and a Book Series Co-Editor of the Springer Tracts in Nature-Inspired Computing. He has published more than 25 books and more than 400 peer-reviewed research publications with over 82000 citations, and he has been on the prestigious list of highly cited researchers (Web of Sciences) for seven consecutive years (2016-2022). Joao Paulo Papa obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Campinas, Brazil, in 2008, and was a visiting scholar at Harvard University from 2014-2015. He has been a Professor at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, since 2009, and his main interests include image processing, machine learning and meta-heuristic optimization.
