NSI is pleased to announce that Dr. George Burgin will be receiving a lifetime achievement award from the AIAA San Diego Section for his pioneering efforts over multiple decades using evolutionary computation for aerospace applications. Working with Dr. Lawrence Fogel and under funding from NASA Langley, Burgin succeeded in programming the "Adaptive Maneuvering Logic" that was used for air-to-air combat flight training in the 1970s-1980s. Burgin also demonstrated the value of evolutionary computation in the control logic of supersonic aircraft. Already recognized by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society for his pioneering efforts in evolutionary algorithms and games, it is great to see Burgin also receive recognition for his many efforts to bring machine learning to aerospace. Congratulations Dr. Burgin!
The AIAA Awards banquet will be held May 10 from 5:30-9pm in San Diego. More information is available via the AIAA-SD section here:
AIAA's mission is to address the professional needs and interests of the past, current, and future aerospace workforce and to advance the state of aerospace science, engineering, technology, operations, and policy to benefit our global society.
