Sammendrag
Evolution-in-Materio is a research field wherein evolutionary algorithms are used to seekout configurations that allows one to make use of a physical material as a computationaldevice. The reasons for this are to seek out new viable materials for computation, as wellas to explore the range of usefulness of evolutionary algorithms in computation research.The project looks at the possibility of developing a frequency discriminator in an amor-phous silicon solar panel exclusively by applying light onto the solar panel.This thesis presents successful, albeit unstable blinking led frequency discriminatorsthat are evolved in-materio.
