Kalyanmoy Deb is an Indian computer scientist. Deb is the Herman E. & Ruth J. Koenig Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering at Michigan State University.[1] Deb is also a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University.[2]

Deb established the Kanpur Genetic Algorithms Laboratory at

TWAS Prize from the World Academy of Sciences.[8]

Background and career

Deb received his B.Tech. in

UIUC. In 1993, he became a professor of mechanical engineering at IIT Kanpur, where he went on to hold the Deva Raj Endowed Chair (2007–2010) and the Gurmukh and Veena Mehta Endowed Chair (2011–2013). For his next position, he left for the Michigan State University
, where has been the Herman E. & Ruth J. Koenig Endowed Chair since 2013.

Research

NSGA

Deb is a highly cited researcher, with 138,000+ Google Scholar citations and an h-index of 116. A large fraction of his citations come from his work on nondominated-sorting[12] genetic algorithms for multiobjective optimization. In 1994, Deb and coauthor Nidamarthi Srinivas introduced one of[note 1] the first nondominated-sorting genetic algorithms, which they termed "NSGA".[13]

NSGA-II

In 2002, Deb and coauthors Amrit Pratap, Sameer Agarwal, and T.A.M.T. Meyarivan introduced a notion of crowding distance for an individual, which "calculates a measure of how close an individual is to its neighbors."[14] They also introduced a faster[note 2] way to implement nondominated sorting, by for every individual keeping track of which other individuals it strictly dominates. By incorporating crowding distance, elitism,[note 3] and the faster implementation of nondominated sorting into the original NSGA, Deb and his coauthors modified the original NSGA and made it faster and more reliable.[note 4] They termed this modification "NSGA-II". According to the Web of Science Core Collection database, this paper was the first paper solely by Indian authors to have more than 5,000 citations.[15][16]

NSGA-III

In 2013, Deb and coauthor Himanshu Jain proposed a modification of NSGA-II for solving many-objective optimization problems with 10+ objectives.[note 5][17] They termed this modification "NSGA-III".

Notes

  1. ^ Previous nondominated-sorting genetic algorithms had been introduced by Carlos M. Fonseca and Peter J. Fleming (Genetic algorithms for multiobjective optimization: formulation, discussion and generalization, 1993) and Jeffrey Horn (Northern Michigan University), Nicholas Nafpliotis, and David E. Goldberg (A niched Pareto genetic algorithm for multiobjective optimization, 1994).
  2. ^ Faster compared to Srinivas and Deb's implementation in NSGA (1994).
  3. ^ See also the section Elitist selection in the Selection (genetic algorithm) page.
  4. ^ Incorporating the faster implementation of nondominated sorting and elitist selection made the algorithm faster. Incorporating crowding distance and elitist selection made the algorithm more reliable.
  5. ^ Many-objective optimization is a subfield of multiobjective optimization focusing on problems that have a large number of constraints (four or more constraints).
