John H. Holland

John H. Holland was a respected researcher known for his work in complex systems and artificial intelligence. He developed the concept of "genetic algorithms," which are problem-solving methods inspired by natural evolution—using processes like selection, mutation, and reproduction to find optimal solutions. Holland’s work helps computers learn and solve difficult problems more efficiently by mimicking how nature adapts and evolves. His contributions have impacted fields like computer science, engineering, and optimization, advancing our ability to develop adaptive, intelligent systems.
