1. Development of New Methods for Inferring and Evaluating Phylogenetic Trees
Abstract : Inferring phylogeny is a difficult computational problem. Heuristics are necessary to minimize the time spent evaluating non optimal trees. In paper I, we developed an approach for heuristic searching, using a genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms mimic the natural selections ability to solve complex problems. READ MORE

2. Inference of Hierarchical Structure in Complex Systems
Abstract : Hierarchical organization is a central property of complex systems. It is even argued that a system is required to be hierarchical in order to evolve complexity within reasonable time. A hierarchy of a system is defined as the set of self-contained levels at which the system operates and can be described on. READ MORE

3. Computational problems in evolution : Multiple alignment, genome rearrangements, and tree reconstruction
Abstract : Reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a fundamental problem in biology. This thesis concerns computational problems that arise in different settings and stages of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, but also in other contexts. READ MORE

4. Enhancing Differential Evolution Algorithm for Solving Continuous Optimization Problems
Abstract : Differential Evolution (DE) has become one of the most important metaheuristics during the recent years, obtaining attractive results in solving many engineering optimization problems. However, the performance of DE is not always strong when seeking optimal solutions. It has two major problems in real world applications. READ MORE

5. Meso-Mechanical Modeling and Analysis of Adhesive Layers
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the modeling, simulation and analysis of adhesive layers. By use of an in situ scanning electron microscopy study it is found that the adhesive studied in the present thesis has a very complex structure with two different compounds, a mineral and an epoxy/thermoplastic blend.
