Studying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Emergent Phenotypes
This post is written by MSU faculty Mark Reimers and Arend Hintze Let us marvel about the complexity of life for a moment. We have DNA transcribed into mRNA, just to get that translated into proteins, which metabolize, catabolize, or process … Continue reading

An Evolutionary Computation Perspective at AAAI 2016
This post is by UT Austin grad student Elliot Meyerson I spent February 12-17 in Phoenix at the 30th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. AAAI covers artificial intelligence “broadly conceived”, with focus on “traditional topics such as search, machine learning, planning, knowledge representation, reasoning, natural … Continue reading
Evolutionary signal processing and its application for brain information flow modeling
This post is by MSU PhD Candidate Jinyao Yan. There are two aspects of biomedical engineering which attract me: the quest for new knowledge, and its power for fostering innovation and promoting society’s development. These pursuits hold my heart; and I am … Continue reading
