'''Eli (Omid) David''',<br/>
a Ph.D. in computer science, and the author of chess engines [[Genesis IL|Genesis]] and [[Falcon]] (which participated in several [[World Computer Chess Championship|World Computer Chess Championships]]). His main research areas are [[Genetic Programming#EvolutionaryComputation|evolutionary computation]], [[Learning|machine learning]], and computer games. Omid's Ph.D. thesis focused on applying [[Genetic Programming|genetic algorithms]] for automatically [[Learning|learning]] the parameters of a chess program's [[Evaluation|evaluation function]] and [[Selectivity|selective]] [[Search|search]]. His paper titled ''Genetic Algorithms for Mentor-Assisted Evaluation Function Optimization was'' the winner of ''GECCO 2008'' Best Paper Award in Real-World Applications track. Several of his earlier computer chess papers are on [[Pruning|selective search]], and especially variations on [[Null Move Pruning|null-move pruning]].
