Selim Akl
Selim G. Akl [1] Selim G. Akl,
a Canadian computer scientist and professor at Queen’s University in the School of Computing, where he leads the Parallel and Unconventional Computation Group [2]. His research interests covers algorithm design and analysis, in particular parallel and unconventional computing. He made his Ph.D. Statistical Analysis of Some Properties of Solutions to the Traveling Salesman Problem under the supervision of Monroe Newborn [3] at McGill University in 1978, where he also researched on the principal continuation and the killer heuristic [4] . As postdoc at Queen’s University he published various papers on Parallel Search.
