Stefan has received a Diploma in Computer Science (Masters degree equivalent) at the University of Leipzig, Germany, in 2006. In his Diploma thesis he has worked on neural network based agents and genetic algorithms. In 2010, he has obtained a PhD in Computer Science at the Auckland University of Technology under the supervision of Prof Nikola Kasabov and Dr Michael Defoin-Platel. During his PhD time he has explored the areas of evolutionary computation with a focus on probabilistic methods, namely Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA). He has investigated feature selection problems and parameter optimization of spiking neural networks. He is interested in the neuro-scientific aspects of neural modelling but also their applications for real world problems as novel computational tools.
