Biography:Kenneth A De Jong
Kenneth Alan De Jong (born 1944)[1] is an American computer scientist and professor emeritus at George Mason University.[2] He is one of the pioneers in evolutionary computation.[3][4]
Education and career
De Jong was a student of John Henry Holland at the University of Michigan, where he completed a Ph.D. in 1975 with a dissertation on genetic algorithms.[1][5] He became a faculty member at George Mason University in 1984.[2]
He is the author of the textbook Evolutionary Computation: A Unified Approach (MIT Press, 2006),[6] and was the founding editor-in-chief of the journal Evolutionary Computation,[7] which published its first volume in 1993.[8]
Recognition
De Jong was the 2005 recipient of the Evolutionary Computation Pioneer Award of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.[4] He is also the recipient of a lifetime achievement award of the Evolutionary Programming Society.[7] He was a distinguished speaker of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2014.[9]
