Biologically Inspired Computing Research Group

The Biologically Inspired Computing (BIC) research group at K-State is involved in theoretical and applied research in evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, artificial immune systems, memetic algorithms and neural networks for multi-objective and constrained optimization, prediction, structure discovery, learning and other tasks. Our funded research is in in the areas of plant gene regulatory network modeling and power distribution systems. We are also interested in other applications (communications & networks, engineering, computer science, biology & finance).
