Aymeric Blot is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Rennes and a member of the IRISA research centre in the joint Inria/IRISA DiverSE team. Building on previous work at University College London on software specialisation and a doctorate from the University of Lille focused on automated algorithm design for multi-objective combinatorial optimisation, their research explores evolving and optimising software using genetic improvement, automated machine learning, algorithm configuration, and evolutionary computation. This includes leading the development and maintenance of the Magpie automated software improvement framework.
