Yanjun Zhang,
an American mathematician, computer scientist, and research scientist at Sabre Inc., in the 90s assistant professor at Southern Methodist University ^[1]. He received a Ph.D. on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Search Problems from University of California, Berkeley in 1989 under thesis advisor Richard Karp ^[2]. In 1988, Yanjun Zhang and Richard Karp presented a general method for deriving randomized parallel branch-and-bound algorithms from sequential ones. They showed that with high probability the resulting algorithms attained optimal speedup to within a constant factor for large enough problems ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}.
