Ingo Rechenberg
Ingo Rechenberg (20 November 1934 – 25 September 2021) was a German researcher and professor in the field of
artificial evolution, an important subset of the still growing field of bionics
.
Rechenberg was born in Berlin. He was educated at the Technical University of Berlin and at the University of Cambridge. Since 1972 he was a full professor at the Technical University of Berlin, where he headed the Department of Bionics and Evolution Techniques.
His awards include the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Evolutionary Programming Society (US, 1995) and the Evolutionary Computation Pioneer Award of the
IEEE Neural Networks Society (US, 2002). In 1954, Rechenberg also became world champion in the field of model aeroplanes.[1]
The
Moroccan flic-flac spider
, Cebrennus rechenbergi, was named in his honor, as he first collected specimens in the Moroccan desert.
Rechenberg died on 25 September 2021, at the age of 86.[2]
