He is an Editor of several international scientific research journals. He currently has active research projects with other academics in Taiwan, Singapore, Canada and U.S.A. He is constantly looking for collaboration opportunities with foreign professors and students.

SCOPE

This workshop aims to explore the intersection of evolutionary computation and deep learning within the context of maritime management. Participants will gain insights into how these advanced computational techniques can address complex challenges in the maritime industry, including optimization of shipping routes, predictive maintenance, and vessel tracking. Attendees will learn to apply evolutionary algorithms and deep learning models to real-world maritime problems, fostering innovation and efficiency in maritime operations.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Genetic Algorithms for Optimizing Shipping Routes
  • Evolution Strategies for Resource Allocation in Maritime Logistics
  • Genetic Programming for Predictive Maintenance of Maritime Equipment
  • Co-Evolutionary Algorithms for Collaborative Vessel Routing
  • Deep Learning for Vessel Detection and Classification
  • Generative Adversarial Networks for Anomaly Detection in Maritime Operations
  • Deep Learning for Environmental Monitoring and Hazard Prediction 
  • Combining Deep Learning and Evolutionary Computation for Real-time Decision-making 
  • Case Studies on the Implementation of Hybrid Approaches in the Maritime Industry
  • Case Studies on the Use of Evolutionary Computation and Deep Learning for Improving Maritime Safety
