2.1 To develop new meta-heuristics based on self-adaptive strategies for single- and many-objective optimisation.
2.2 To develop new concepts of hyper-heuristics for single- and many-objective optimisation
2.3 To develop a finite element codes for skeleton-like structures with welded joints
2.4 To apply the obtained optimisers to welded-joint structures such as an automotive floor frame, a wind turbine tower, and a billboard structure
2.5 To apply the obtained optimisers to kinematic synthesis of mechanisms such as exercise equipment, a conveyer transfer linkage, and a steering mechanism
