Xin-She Yang

Xin-She Yang is Reader_(academic_rank) at the Middlesex University[1] and was a senior research scientist at National Physical Laboratory, best known as a developer of various heuristic algorithms for engineering optimization. He obtained a DPhil in applied mathematics from Oxford University.[2] He has given many invited keynote talks, including SEA2011,[3] SCET2012, BIOMA2012, Mendel Conference on Soft Computing (Mendel 2012), ICCS2015[4] (Iceland), SIBGRAPH2015 (Brazil), OIPE2016 (Italy), ICICT2019 (UK), CIS2022 (India), and SIMULTECH2024[5] (France). He has been elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Application in 2021. He has been on the prestigious list of Highly Cited Researchers since 2016 by Clarivate Analyatics/Web of Science.[6] He is also on the latest list of World's Best Scientistis 2026 (Best Computer Science Scientists 2026), according to Research.com

Algorithms

He created the firefly algorithm[7] (2008), cuckoo search (2009),[8][9][10] bat algorithm (2010),[11] and flower pollination algorithm (2012).

Since 2009, more than 16000 peer-reviewed research papers cited the firefly algorithm and/or cuckoo search.[12]
