BIOGRAPHY
Dario Floreano received an M.A. in visual psychophysics at the University of Trieste in 1988, an M.Sc. in Neural Computation from the University of Stirling in 1992, and a PhD in Cognitive Systems and Robotics from the University of Trieste in 1995. He has been research fellow at the National Research Council in Roma, at the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics of the University of Stirling, at the Department of Computer Science of EPFL, and at Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo. In 2000 he was awarded the first Swiss National Science Foundation professorship in bio-inspired robotics at EPFL. In 2005 he was appointed associate EPFL professor and established the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems. In 2011 he was appointed full EPFL professor and became Director of the newly established Swiss National Center of Competence in Robotics.

Dario Floreano chaired several international conferences, was co-founder of the Artificial Life Society, Inc., member of the Board of Governors of the International Society for Neural Networks, advisor to the Future and Emerging Technologies Division of the European Commission, and member of the Advisory Board of the Institute of Advanced Studies "Collegium Budapest".
