'''Ulf Lorenz''',<br/>
a German computer scientist and professor at the faculty of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_administration business administration], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Siegen University of Siegen], and head of the department of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_management technology management] <ref>[http://www.wiwi.uni-siegen.de/technologiemanagement/lehrstuhlteam/ Lehrstuhlteam | Betriebswirtschaftslehre (Prof. Dr. Ulf Lorenz)]</ref>.

=Paderborn=
Until 2007, Ulf Lorenz was member of the research group of [[Burkhard Monien]] at the [[Paderborn University]], where he researched on computer chess and in particualar [[Search|search algorithms]]. He created the [[Parallel Controlled Conspiracy Number Search]] algorithm, topic of his Ph.D. thesis <ref>[[Ulf Lorenz]] ('''2000'''). ''[http://digital.ub.uni-paderborn.de/hs/content/titleinfo/2460 Controlled Conspiracy Number Search]''. [[Paderborn University]], Dissertation, advisor [[Burkhard Monien]] (German)</ref>, also practically confirmed inside his unique chess program [[P.ConNerS]].

==Chess Programs==
In Paderbrn, Ulf authored and co-authored various chess programs, most notably the mentioned controlled conspiracy number searcher [[P.ConNerS]], and along with [[Chrilly Donninger]], the [[FPGA]] chess entities [[Brustus]] and [[Hydra]].

* [[APIL chess]]
* [[Brutus]]
* [[Cheiron]]
* [[Cluster Toga]]
* [[GridChess]]
* [[Hydra]]
* [[P.ConNerS]]
* [[Ulysses]]

==IPCCC==
Further, Ulf was [[Tournament Organizers|tournament organizer]] as well participant of the International Paderborn Computer Chess Championship [[IPCCC]].

=Darmstadt=
Ulf Lorenz continued his academical career at the [[Darmstadt University of Technology]], where he researched on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization mathematical optimization] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity_theory computational complexity theory], in particular quantified [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_programming integer] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming linear programming] with connections to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSPACE-complete PSPACE-complete] [[Games|games]], such as [[Othello]], [[Gomoku]], [[Amazons]] and others <ref>[[Thorsten Ederer]], [[Ulf Lorenz]], [[Thomas Opfer]], [[Jan Wolf]] ('''2011''').
