Shishen Lin 林仕燊

I start my PhD of Computer Science at Birmingham since Sep. 2021. I mainly focus on Artificial Intelligence, Optimisation, Evolutionary Algorithm. I am also intertesded in Reinforcement Learning and evolutionary computation methods on it. Before that, I was a MSc Mathematics student at Imperial College London with a focus on probability theory, Markov processes and random matrix theory. I did my internship of data analysis at Tencent during summer in 2021. I have also completed my BSc Maths degree at Warwick before going to Imperial.

Research Interests

  1. Randomised Algorithms including Evolutionary Algorithms or ohter bio-inspired algorithms

  2. Probability theory and its applications on theoretical analysis on randomised algorihtms

  3. Black-Box Optimisation, Adversarial Optimsation.

  4. Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning and their interplay with Evolutionary computation
