Abstract: Hey, nice to see you! Welcome to my website. I am Jakob, PhD candidate with a passion for good design.

I. About Me

My name is Jakob Bossek. Im am research assistant and PhD candidate at the Chair of Information Systems and Statistics at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Diploma in Computer Science from the Technische Universität Dortmund. I have a vast set of interests. However, my main research focus is on randomized meta-heuristics, in particular evolutionary algorithms. Here, my focus is on combinatorial multi-objective optimization and expert knowledge integration. Moreover, I am author of the R package ecr, a framework focused on rapid development of evolutionary algorithms written in the statistical programming language R.
