Subject: Death of Professor Aimo Torn
With great sadness I report that Professor Aimo Torn, of Abo Akademi,
Turku, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2025, at the age
87. Aimo’s passions in life were his global optimization research,
teaching and his family. Aimo was one of a handful of early
researchers who started to work on global optimization. His first
clustering-based algorithm for global optimization was cherished by
many for years within the global optimization community. His book on
global optimization is also well respected. Aimo was an extremely
descent individual. Above all, he was a friend and mentor to many of
us and will be greatly missed. Professor Aimo Torn is survived by his
wife, Annamaija, and two sons: Thomas Torn and Niklas Torn. May
Professor Aimo Torn's soul rest in peace.
