Georgy Adelson-Velsky

Georgy Adelson-Velsky was a Russian computer scientist renowned for co-developing the AVL tree in 1962, a self-balancing binary search tree. This data structure ensures efficient organization and retrieval of data by automatically maintaining its balance, which helps perform fast searches, insertions, and deletions. His work significantly contributed to the development of algorithms and efficient computer systems, influencing how information is stored and accessed in computers today.
