Prof. Patrick Siarry was born on May 28, 1952, in Pertuis. His research area is relatively (since 1982) new “metaheuristic” optimization such as simulated annealing, which are indicated for the so-called problems of “hard optimization” because of their ability to avoid in principle, trapping in sub-optimal solutions. This topic is multidisciplinary in nature, both by the source of the methods studied (physics, biology, ethology). Much of his work is explicitly one or the other keywords – in particular, modeling, identification, learning rule bases (artificial intelligence), control, nondestructive testing and maintaining the biological and medical engineering.
Prof. P. Siarry scientific career, for 32 years, resulting in various publications: 80 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and 16 items of national peer-reviewed journals; 6 international and 9 national books; 20 chapters of international and 7 chapters of national books, more than 150 articles in conference proceedings; 21 seminars, 18 internal reports, 8 records for internal data centers. The scientific and research activities of Prof. P. Siarry confirm him as a leading scientist in the area of “metaheuristic” optimization.
Prof. Siarry has 12 frames at 100% of doctoral theses, including 1 in progress; 9 frames at 50% of doctoral theses, including 6 ongoing; 6 joint supervision of doctoral theses, including 5 courses; 4 frames partial (< 30%) of doctoral theses; 2 research post-doctoral; 18 internships DEA or Master 2 research; 2 stages of “ownership” of the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal; 2 memories Engineer CNAM; 1 team of industrial research project (two engineers and one technician); 10 training engineering degree or master’s and 2 stages of BTS or DUT.
