Dr. Karine Miras is an Assistant Professor in the Bioinspired Robotics Lab at VU Amsterdam, working at the intersection of Evolutionary Robotics and Artificial Life.
Her research has the goal of advancing robot autonomous systems and also deepening our understanding of biological evolution. At the core of her work is exploring how environments shape the traits of evolving organisms, and how developmental processes can be embedded directly into the genetic representations of artificial life forms.
Some of her topics of interest are: embodied intelligence, environmental influences and environmental regulation, phenotypic plasticity, evo-devo, and gene expression.
"I'm interested in understanding what allows for the evolution of complex life through the study of artificial life."
