Pietro S. Oliveto is a Senior Lecturer and EPSRC Early Career Fellow at the Department of Computer Sci-ence, University of Sheffield where he leads the ’Rigorous Runtime Analysis of Bio-inspired Computing’ project team, ‘Rigorous Research’ in short. He received the Laurea degree in computer science from the University of Catania, Italy in 2005 and the PhD degree in computational complexity of evolutionary algorithms from the University of Birmingham, UK in 2009. He has been an EPSRC PhD Plus Fellow (2009-2010) and an EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellow in Theo-retical Computer Science (2010-2013) at Birmingham and a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow (2013-2016) at Shef-field. Dr. Oliveto is Chair of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Technical Committee for Evolu-tionary Computation (ECTC). He is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE TEVC) and Editorial Board member of the Algorithms Journal. He has edited special issues of the IEEE TEVC, Evolutionary Computation (ECJ) and Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) journals. He has Chaired the annual Symposium on Foundations of Computational Intelligence (IEEE FOCI) (2014-2020) and is a Steering Committee member of the workshop series on Theory of Randomised Search Heuristics (ThRaSH). He leads the benchmarking Working Group (WG3) of the COST Action CA15140: ‘Improving Applicability of Nature-Inspired Optimisation by Joining Theory and Practice’. He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College and of the Carnegie Trust of Research Assessors for the Universities of Scotland.
