Beatrice Ombuki-Berman

Beatrice Moraa Betty Ombuki-Berman is a computer scientist whose research focuses on evolutionary computation and particle swarm optimization. Originally from Kenya, and educated in Kenya and Japan, she has settled in Canada as a professor at Brock University and chair of the Brock University Computer Science Department. Quotes We were looking for someone who could bring administrative experience, interdisciplinary research excellence and their international worldview to our Integrated Engineering program. We are lucky to now have Shahryar leading Engineering at Brock. He is already actively involved in moving the department forward. Brock Engineering welcomes new Chair as program development continues I am interested in research on efficient design and application of computational intelligence techniques especially evolutionary computation genetic algorithms and genetic programming, swarm intelligence, especially on particle swarm optimization, and artificial neural networks. A major application area is in optimization with a focus on combinatorial optimization, multi objective optimization, and optimization in dynamic environments. Lately I am also interested in complex networks from two angles. That is, using genetic programming for the automatic inference of graph models for complex networks, and developing fast algorithms to determine critical nodes in complex networks.
