Biography

Xin-She Yang is Reader in Modelling and Simulation as well as Optimization at Middlesex University London, with more than 25 years' experience in teaching and research. He was a Senior Research Scientist at Mathematics and Scientific Computing Division of UK's National Physical Laboratory. He got his DPhil in Applied Mathematics from Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford in 1998. He is also an elected Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (2021) and Fellow of Asian Computational Intelligence Society (2023).

He is the Editor for Springer's book series: Spring Tracts in Nature-Inspired Computing and has been on editorial boards of multiple international journals, such as Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (Elsevier) and Journal of Computational Science (Elsevier).

His research interests include algorithms, artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling, engineering simulation, engineering optimization, metaheuristics, nature-inspired computing, numerical methods, data mining, and simulation tools. A full list of his publications are available at Google scholar and at Web of Science.

Potential PhD candidates are always welcome, especially those with their own funding.
