John R. Koza is a computer scientist and a former adjunct professor at Stanford University, most notable for his work in pioneering the use of genetic programming for the optimization of complex problems. Koza co-founded of Scientific Games Corporation, a company which builds computer systems to run state lotteries in the United States. John Koza is also credited with being the creator of the 'scratch card' with the help of retail promotions specialist Daniel Bower.[1]Koza was born in 1944 and earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Michigan, being the second person to ever earn a bachelor's degree in computer science. He earned a doctoral degree in computer science from the University of Michigan in 1972.[2] Koza was featured in Popular Science for his work on evolutionary programming that alters its own code to find far more complex solutions. The machine, which he calls the "invention machine", has created antennae, circuits, and lenses, and has received a patent from the US Patent Office. In the political space, Koza advocates for a plan to revamp the way states choose their electors for the Electoral College in the United States, such that candidates who win the majority of the popular vote would then win a majority of the electors through an interstate compact.[3] He established the organization "National Popular Vote" to advocate for state adoption of the policy and the election of supportive candidates.[4] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/07/magazine/who-made-that-scratch-off-lottery-ticket.html|title=Who Made That Scratch-Off Lottery Ticket?|last=Kennedy|first=Pagan|date=2013-07-05|work=The New York Times|access-date=2018-03-02|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}} 2. ^{{Cite magazine |last=Keats |first=Jonathon |date=2006-04-19 |title=John Koza Has Built an Invention Machine |url=http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2006-04/john-koza-has-built-invention-machine |magazine=Popular Science |language=en}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/07/24/MNGIHK4CSQ1.DTL|title=Stanford professor stumps for electoral alternative|publisher=San Francisco Chronicle|date=2006-07-24|first=Matthew|last=Yi}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/12/out-of-state_group_seeks_to_ou.html|title=Out-of-state group seeks to oust Peter Courtney, president of Oregon Senate|work=OregonLive.com|access-date=2018-03-02|language=en-US}}
