Marco Dorigo.
Marco Dorigo (born 26 August 1961, in Milan, Italy) is a research director for the and a co-director of , the artificial intelligence lab of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
He is the proponent of the ant colony optimizationmetaheuristic (see his book published by MIT Press in 2004), and one of the founders of the swarm intelligence research field. Recently[when?] he got involved with research in swarm robotics: he is the coordinator of and of two swarm robotics projects funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies Program of the European Commission. He is also the founding editor and editor in chief of Swarm Intelligence, the principal peer reviewed publication dedicated to reporting research and new developments in this multidisciplinary field.
For these contributions, in 2003 he was awarded the by the European Commission; on 22 November 2005, he was presented the by the King of Belgium, Albert II; in 2007 he received the , awarded by the ; and in 2015 he received the IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award. He is the recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant (2010).
