David B. Fogel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David B. Fogel (born February 2, 1964 ) is an American computer scientist . He is a pioneer of optimization using evolutionary biological algorithms.

Life

Fogel received the title Ph.D. in engineering from the University of California, San Diego in 1992 . In May 2014 he was appointed honorary professor at the University of Nottingham ( Great Britain ). He is currently President of Natural Selection, Inc., in San Diego , which deals with the optimization of complex technical systems. He was founding editor of the journal IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (1996–2002) and from 2000 to 2008 editor-in-chief of the journal BioSystems . He was also the main organizer of the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence in 2002 and President of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society from 2008 to 2009 .

His father is the computer scientist Lawrence J. Fogel (1928–2007). His brother Gary B. Fogel is the managing director of the o. G. Company and currently editor-in-chief of BioSystems.

Scientific work

Fogel achieved great fame through his research project Blondie24 , in which a machine was developed to such an extent that it became an excellent checkers player . Fogel wrote six specialist books and more than 200 scientific publications, particularly on evolutionary optimization and neural networks. He also deals with various applications of game theory .
