Frank Neumann is a professor and the leader of the Optimisation and Logistics group at the University of Adelaide and an Honorary Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne. His current position is funded by the Australian Research Council through a Future Fellowship and focuses on AI-based optimisation methods for problems with stochastic constraints. Frank has been the general chair of the ACM GECCO 2016 and co-organised ACM FOGA 2013 in Adelaide. He is an Associate Editor of the journals "Evolutionary Computation" (MIT Press) and ACM Transactions on Evolutionary Learning and Optimization. In his work, he considers algorithmic approaches in particular for combinatorial and multi-objective optimization problems and focuses on theoretical aspects of evolutionary computation as well as high impact applications in the areas of cybersecurity, renewable energy, logistics, and mining.

Bio: Aneta Neumann is a researcher in the School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Adelaide, Australia, and focuses on real world problems using evolutionary computation and machine learning methods. She is also part of the Integrated Mining Consortium at the University of Adelaide. Aneta graduated in Computer Science from the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Germany, and received her PhD from the University of Adelaide, Australia. She served as the co-chair of the Real-World Applications track at GECCO 2021-2022 and was the co-chair of the Genetic Algorithms track at GECCO 2023-2024. She is co-organizer of the Workshop on AI-based Optimisation 2025 and a publicity co-chair for EMO 2025. Her main research interests are bio-inspired computation methods, with a particular focus on dynamic and stochastic multi-objective optimization for real-world problems that occur in the mining industry, green energy, defence, creative industries, and public health.

Hemant Kumar Singh is an Associate Professor at the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. He completed his PhD from UNSW in 2011 and B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 2007. He worked with General Electric Aviation at John F. Welch Technology Centre as a Lead Engineer during 2011-13. His research interests include development of evolutionary computation methods to deal with various challenges such as multiple objectives, constraints, uncertainties, hierarchical (bi-level) objectives, and decision-making. He has co-authored over 125 refereed publications on these topics collectively. He is an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation and has been in the organizing team of several conferences, e.g., IEEE CEC (Program co-chair 2021), SSCI (MCDM co-chair 2020-23), ACM GECCO (RWACMO workshop co-chair 2018-21).
