Welcome to Prof. Kalyanmoy Deb's Homepage

Prof. Deb has been awarded the "IEEE Fellow" for his contributions to evolutionary multi-criterion optimization techniques. Being a Fellow is one of the most prestigious honours granted by the IEEE to its members. No more than one tenth of the 1% of its voting members can receive this distinction each year.

Prof. Deb has been awarded the 'Infosys Prize in Engineering and Computer Science' from Infosys Science Foundation, Bangalore, India for his contributions to the emerging field of Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO) that has led to advances in non-linear constraints, decision uncertainty, programming and numerical methods, computational efficiency of large-scale problems and optimization algorithms. The award giving ceremony took place on 9 January 2012 in Bangalore.

Prof. Deb has been awarded 'J. C. Bose Fellowship' from Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India for his "Active outstanding performance and contribution to science". (October 2011).

Prof. Deb has been awarded 'V Cajastur Mamdani Prize for Soft Computing' from European Centre for Soft Computing, Spain in consideration for his contributions to the Development and Application of Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization. The prize was given in a ceremony at ECSC, Mieres, Spain on 1 December 2011.

Prof. Deb received the 'Distinguished Alumnus Award' from his alma mater Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. (August 2011).
