Richard Earl Korf, an American computer scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received his B.S. from MIT in 1977, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 1980 and 1983. His research is in the areas of problem-solving, heuristic search, and planning in artificial intelligence.
