Dr. Fogel’s first decade of engineering (1948-1960) began designing antennas, ensuring reliability of weapons systems, and inventing interfaces for human operators. His keen insight led to five patents issued from 1958-1961 pertaining to two separate inventions regarding active noise cancellation and a revolutionary cockpit display. Dr. Fogel received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University Of California, Los Angeles in 1964, with the first dissertation in the field of Evolutionary Computation titled "On the Organization of Intellect." His dissertation became the basis for the first book in the field of evolutionary computing titled "Artificial Intelligence through Simulated Evolution," co-authored by Alvin Owens and Michael Walsh. Dr. Fogel started Decision Science, Inc. in 1965, the first company dedicated to the advancement and practice of evolutionary computing for real-world problem solving. The company was acquired in 1982 by Titan Systems, Inc. Dr. Fogel was president of Natural Selection, Inc., which has been in business since 1993. He was a recipient of several awards and recognitions. He was a Life Fellow of the IEEE , and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Evolutionary Programming Society in 1996, the first IEEE Neural Networks Council Pioneer Award in Evolutionary Computation in 1998, and more recently the inaugural 2006 IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Technical Field Award. Dr. Fogel was also well-known for aeromodeling and is a Fellow of the Academy Of Model Aeronautics . |
