Panos M. Pardalos serves as distinguished professor of industrial and systems engineering at the University of Florida. Additionally, he is the Paul andHeidi Brown Preeminent Professor of industrial and systems engineering. Pardalos is also an affiliated faculty member of the computer and information science department, the Hellenic Studies Center, and the biomedical engineering program. Additionally, he serves as the director of the Center for Applied Optimization. Pardalos is a world leading expert in global and combinatorial optimization. His recent research interests include network design problems, optimization in telecommunications, e-commerce, data mining, biomedical applications, and massive computing. Pardalos is a prolific author who lectures all over the world. He is the recipient of a multitude of fellowships and awards, the most recent of which is the Humboldt Research Award (2018).

Javier Sanchis Sáez received his B.Sc. (1993) and Ph.D. (2002) in Computer Science from Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain). He is a professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Control ofthe same university. His main research interests are multivariable predictive control, process optimisation and computational intelligence methods for control engineering. Professor Sanchis is co-author of Controller Tuning with Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (Springer, 2017) and is the author of more than fifty research papers on integration of computational intelligence methods with control engineering.
