David Arthur Eppstein (born 1963) is a professor of computer science at Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, University of California, Irvine. His work is in computational geometry, graph algorithms, and recreational mathematics.
Biography
Born in England, he was originally a British subject from New Zealand but is now a United States citizen. Eppstein received a B.S. in Mathematics with distinction from Stanford University in 1984, and later an M.S. (1985) and Ph.D. (1989) in Computer Science from Columbia University, after which he took a postdoctorate at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center.[1] He joined the UC Irvine faculty in 1990, and was co-chair of the Computer Science Department there from 2002 to 2005.[1] Eppstein is married and has two children. He describes his status and ancestry on his website, explaining the "Eppstein" name, especially its atypical spelling, as well as referencing others who bear the name. He is one of the few "California/New Zealand Eppsteins." [2] His avocation is amateur photography.[3]
Research interests
According to Eppstein's CV, [1] his research is focused mostly in finite element meshing, minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, dynamic graph data structures, graph colouring, graph drawing, computational robust statistics, and geometric optimisation.
Eppstein maintains and edits the content of his own web site called the Geometry Junkyard. It mainly provides annotated lists of hyperlinks to other web sites on a range of geometry topics from circles, spheres, and spirals to tilings, polyhedra, and origami.[4]

Awards
Eppstein received the NSF Young Investigator award (1992 – 1999), and has been accepted to the NSF graduate fellowship (1984 – 1987) and the National Merit scholarship (1981 – 1984).[1]
