Johannes Willem Romein, a Dutch computer scientist at ASTRON, the Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy. Before, he was postdoctoral researcher working on parallel algorithms in the bioinformatics department at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, and defended his Ph.D. on Multigame - An Environment for Distributed Game-Tree Search in 2001 under the supervision of Henri Bal. Multigame is a language for the purpose of general game playing using a parallel search and distributed computing. In 2002, along with Henri Bal, he solved the game of Awari.
