Gerardo Beni

Gerardo Beni is a professor of electrical engineering at University of California, Riverside who, with Jing Wang, is known as the originator of the term " 'swarm intelligence' " [ Beni, G., Wang, J. Swarm Intelligence in Cellular Robotic Systems, Proceed. NATO Advanced Workshop on Robots and Biological Systems, Tuscany, Italy, June 26–30 (1989)] in the context of cellular robotics and the concept of " 'electrowetting' " [ Beni,G. and Hackwood,S.,Electrowetting Displays,Applied Physics Letter, 38,4,pp.207-209,1982 ] , with Susan Hackwood. He also devised, with Xuan-Li Xie, the Xie-Beni Index [ Xie, X.L., and Beni,G. A Validity Measure for Fuzzy Clustering, IEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 13, pp. 841-847, (1991)] for measuring the validity of fuzzy clustering.

He is the author of " 'From Swarm Intelligence to Swarm Robotics' " in the book "Swarm Robotics" [ ISBN 978-3-540-24296-3, DOI 10.1007/b105069, [http://www.springerlink.com/content/xn02ymel1b22rjp8/ Springer] .]

Beni is married to Susan Hackwood. They have two children.

Education

In 1970 Beni was admitted to the Laurea in Physics at the University of Florence, Florence, Italy [http://www.engr.ucr.edu/faculty/ee/beni.html Electrical Engineering: Gerardo Beni ] ] .

In 1974, he was received his PhD in Theoretical Physics at UCLA.

Academic career

Beni has research interests in swarm intelligence, 3D animation, and financial engineering [http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~beni/ Gerardo Beni ] ] .

Before moving to UC Riverside, he worked at UC Santa Barbara and AT&T Bell Laboratories.

He helped found the Journal of Robotic Systems, and between 1982 and 2005 he was also its director. The journal won the Journal of the Year Award in 1984.

In 1982, Beni was made a Fellow of the American Physical Society. In 1999 he became a Fellow of the AAAS.

Patents

Beni has been issued, either alone or in conjunction with other inventors, several patents from the USPTO [http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=Gerardo&FIELD1=INNM&co1=AND&TERM2=Beni&FIELD2=INNM&d=PTXT Patent Database Search Results: IN/Gerardo AND IN/Beni in US Patent Collection ] ] :
