Xin-She Yang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xin-She Yang is a Senior Research Scientist at National Physical Laboratory, best known as a developer of various heuristic algorithms for engineering optimization. He obtained a DPhil in applied mathematics from Oxford University.[1] He has given invited keynote talks at SEA2011,[2] SCET2012, BIOMA2012[3] and Mendel Conference on Soft Computing (Mendel 2012).

Algorithms[]

He created the firefly algorithm[4] (2008), cuckoo search (2009),[5][6][7] bat algorithm (2010),[8] and flower pollination algorithm (2012).

Since 2009, more than 1000 peer-reviewed research papers cited the firefly algorithm and/or cuckoo search.[citation needed]
