David Galer Kirkpatrick is a Professor Emeritus of computer science at the University of British Columbia. He is known for the Kirkpatrick–Seidel algorithm and his work on polygon triangulation, and for co-inventing α-shapes [1] and the β-skeleton. [2] He received his PhD from the University of Toronto in 1974. [3]
