Curriculum

Sebastian Risi is an Assistant Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen. He received a diploma in computer science from the Philipps University of Marburg, Germany in 2007 and received a PhD in 2012 from the University of Central Florida. Before joining the IT University he was a postdoctoral DAAD fellow at Cornell University working with Hod Lipson. He has won several best paper awards at GECCO and IJCNN for his work on adaptive systems and the HyperNEAT algorithm for evolving complex artificial neural networks. He is the current co-chair of the Generative and Developmental Systems (GDS) track at GECCO and in 2013 he co-organized a high-profile AAI symposium about how intelligence can or should be abstracted in artificial intelligence research. He is also a co-founder of FinchBeak LLC, a company that creates casual and educational social games enabled by next generation AI technology.
