ولد العالم لطفي زاده في أربعة فبراير 1921 بباكو، أذربيجان -ستة سبتمبر 2017) عالم رياضيات. ويعتبر مؤسس المنطق الضبابي (أومنطق الغموض) Fuzzy Logic

في سن العاشرة رحل زاده برفقة عائلته إلى إيران . ودرس الهندسة الكهربائية في جامعة طهران وأنهى دراسته بها سنة ١٩٤٢.

هاجر زاده خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية إلي الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية ثم حصل على درجة الدكتوراه من جامعة "بركلي" في كالفورنيا.

اشتغل زاده في التدريس بنفس الجامعة ابتداء من سنة ١٩٥٩ إلي حدود سنة ١٩٩١، سنة التقاعد.

طرح زاده في سنة ١٩٦٥ نظرية المجموعة الضبابية Fuzzy Set Theory وهي الأساس النظري ل منطق ضبابي أومنطق الغموض،والذي يعتبر إمتدادآ للمنطق التقليدي أوالكلاسيكي.

يتعامل المنطق الضبابي مع التعابير اللغوية الغير الدقيقة أوالغير الواضخة ،التي لا يمكن للمنطق التقليدي حتى يعالجها.

لدى لطفي زاده أبحات فهمية أخري في مجالات:

• الذكاء الإصطناعي Artificial Intelligence
• أنظمة الخبيرة Expert Systems
• الشبكات العصبية الإصطناعية Neural Network وغيرها.
