Emmanuel Kieffer is currently research scientist at the University of Luxembourg. He has recently completed his PhD titled “Co-evolutionary Hybrid Bi-level Optimization” at the University of Luxembourg under the supervision of Prof. Pascal Bouvry who is the head of the Parallel Computing & Optimization Group.. His PhD researches were dedicated to the design and resolution of bi-level optimization problems. Prior to that he completed a Master’s in Computer Science with first class honors at the University of Lorraine.

He also received from the University of Lorraine :

- The Master Degree in "Informatique et Décision" (Decision-Support Computing) in 2014

- The Bachelor Degree in "Informatique" (Computer Science) in 2012

- The Technology University degree in "Statistique et Informatique Décisionnelle" (Business-Intelligence) in 2011

In 2016, Emmanuel obtained the certificate "Smart ICT for Business Innovation" from the University of Luxembourg.

His primary research interests include mathematical optimization, evolutionary computing and data-mining.
