I’m a Computer Scientist with a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Robotics. I’ve studied Evolutionary Robitics with the Computational Intelligence Group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The title of my PhD thesis is Real Robot Reproduction: Towards Evolving Robotic Ecosystems. The focus of my research was looking into environmental and social influences over robotic evolution and exploring the ethical aspects of it.

During my Ph.D. research, I closely collaborated with the researchers at the universities in Bristol, Edinburgh (Napier), and York to build an Autonomous Robotics Evolution (ARE) system.
