Marc Schoenauer is Principled Senior Researcher (Directeur de Recherche 1ère classe) with INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control. 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 Ecole Polytechnique. He then joined INRIA, and later founded the TAO team at INRIA Saclay 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 27 PhD students. He has also been part-time Associate Professor at Ecole Polytechnique in the Applied Maths Department from 1990 to 2004.
Marc Schoenauer is member (re-elected in 2008) of the Executive Board of SIGEVO, the ACM Special Interest Group for Evolutionary Computation. He was Senior Fellow and member of the Board of the late ISGEC (International Society of Genetic and Evolutionary Computation), that has become ACM-SIGEVO in 2005. He 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, and has been president of the French Association for Artificial Intelligence (2002-2004).
Marc Schoenauer has been Editor in Chief of Evolutionary Computation Journal (2002-2010), is or has been Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (1996-2004), Theoretical Computer Science - Theory of Natural Computing (TCS-C) (2001-2006), Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal (1999-), and the Journal of Applied Soft Computing (2000-). He serves on the Program Committees of all major conferences in the field of Evolutionary Computation.
