Person
Andries P. Engelbrecht is a full professor in Computer Science at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. He holds a PhD (Computer Science) from the University of Stellenbosch (1999) and has been actively involved in the research of computational intelligence since 1992. His group performs research in artificial neural networks, swarm intelligence, evolutionary computation, artificial immune systems, data and text mining, image analysis and multi-agent systems.? The research done is both theoretical where the objective is to develop new algorithms or to improve existing algorithms, and also application oriented, making use of techniques from computational intelligence to solve real-world problems. Professor Engelbrecht is actively involved in consultation to industry and contract research for industry.
