He graduated at Ecole Normale Supèrieure in Paris, and obtained a PhD in Numerical Analysis at Université Paris 6 in 1980. From 1980 until Aug. 2001 he has been full time researcher with CNRS (the French National Research Center), working at CMAP (the Applied Maths Laboratory) at École Polytechnique. He then became Directeur de Recherche at INRIA and worked in the Projet Fractales, before founding the TAO team in September 2003 together with Michèle Sebag.
Marc Schoenauer has been working in the field of Evolutionary Computation since the early 90s, is author of more than 120 papers in journals and major conferences of that field. He is or has been advisor of 25 PhD students.
He has also been part-time Associate Professor at Ecole Polytechnique in the Applied Maths Department from 1990 to 2004, and was in charge of the Optimization track at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées from 2001 to 2005 and is currently teaching the Master2 course Evolutionary Computation and Robotics at Université Paris-Sud.
Marc Schoenauer is Senior Fellow and member of the Board of the ISGEC (International Society of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation), that has now become SIGEVO, the ACM Special Interest Group for Evolutionary Computation. He was member of the Executive Committee of the European Network of Excellence on Evolutionary Computation (Evonet) since its first funding in 1996 until its end in 2003, has served in the IEEE Technical Committee on Evolutionary Computation from 1995 to 1999, and is member of the PPSN Steering Committee. He was the founding president (1995-2002) of Evolution Artificielle, the French Society for Evolutionary Computation, who organizes the series of conferences Evolution Artificielle. He has been member of numerous program committees of international conferences, and was general chair of PPSN'2000 conference in Paris.
Marc Schoenauer is Editor in Chief of Evolutionary Computation Journal, has been associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation from its start in 1996 until 2004, and of the Theoretical Computer Science - Theory of Natural Computing (TCS-C) journal since its creation in 2001 until 2006. He is still associate editor of the Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal, of the Journal of Applied Soft Computing.
