Jakob Bossek received his bachelor degree in Statistics and diploma in Computer Science from the TU Dortmund University (Germany) in 2013 and 2014, respectively. In 2018 he finished his PhD in Information Systems at the University of Münster, Germany. He now is a researcher at the School of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide.

His broad research topics include practical and theoretical aspects of bio-inspired problem solving, in particular evolutionary algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems.
