Camilo Chacón Sartori
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Artificial Intelligence at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC) in Bellaterra, Spain currently working on the intersection of computational optimization, metaheuristics, and large language models. I previously did research focused on developing visualization tools like STNWeb for analyzing optimization algorithms, working with researchers like Christian Blum and Gabriela Ochoa.
My work focuses on establishing novel connections between traditional optimization methods and modern AI approaches, particularly in developing hybrid systems that leverage large language models to enhance metaheuristic algorithms. I'm especially interested in creating visualization tools and automated analysis systems that make complex optimization algorithms more interpretable and accessible.
A key aspect of my research involves exploring how LLMs can be integrated with optimization techniques to improve algorithm performance and analysis. I've published several papers demonstrating innovative approaches like using LLMs for pattern recognition in metaheuristics and developing benchmark generators for assessing variability in graph analysis. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between classical optimization methods and cutting-edge AI technologies while making these tools more accessible to the broader research community.
