George William Hart (born 1955)[1] is a geometer who expresses himself both artistically and academically. He is also a research professor in the department of computer science at the State University of New York in Stony Brook, New York.
His artistic work includes sculpture, computer images, toys (e.g. Zome) and puzzles. His sculptures have been featured in articles in the New York Times, [2] Science (magazine), Tiede (Finnish), Ars et Mathesis (Dutch) and other publications around the world. [2]
His academic work includes the online publication Encyclopedia of Polyhedra, the text book Multidimensional Analysis, and the instruction book Zome Geometry. He has also published over sixty academic articles.
Hart is a coinventor on two US patents, U.S. patent 4,672,555 Digital ac monitor and U.S. patent 4,858,141 Non-intrusive appliance monitor apparatus. These patents cover, in part, an improved electrical meter for homes called Nonintrusive load monitors. These meters track changes in voltage and current usage by a given household and then deduce which appliances are using how much electricity and when.
Hart received a B.S. in Mathematics from MIT (1977), an M.A. in Linguistics from Indiana University (1979), and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT (1987).
