David B. Fogel, an American engineer, computer scientist and pioneer in evolutionary computation. He is president of Natural Selection, Inc. [1], and received a Ph.D. in engineering sciences (systems science) from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in 1992. He is known for his research project Blondie24, in which a machine evolved itself into an expert checkers player, and further on his research on an evolutionary chess program, which improved its play by almost 400 rating points during evolution [2], and results in the chess program dubbed Blondie25 [3] [4].
