Research Interests

March Shoenauer started his research career in Numerical Analysis and Simulation. He gradually turned to Optimization, and to Computer Science when he encountered Evolutionary Computation. Shoenhauer worked on its application to Applied Mathematics problems, in particular Optimum Design, where Stochastic Optimization allowed to go beyond the limits of “classical” Optimization approaches. The creation of the TAO team was based on the claim that Optimization and Machine Learning. Since 2000, he has been working on the boundary between both fields. In particular, among the different scientific pillars of the TAU team, Marc Shoenhauer work more particularly in the area of Algorithm selection and configuration (AutoML in the ML area), and in the hybridization of Machine Learning and Optimization with Numerical simulation in the Big Data era.
