Marc van Kreveld

Marc Johan van Kreveld is a Dutch computational geometer, known as one of the authors of the textbook Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications (with Mark de Berg, Otfried Cheong, and Mark Overmars, Springer, 1997; 3rd ed., 2008).[1]

Van Kreveld completed his Ph.D. in 1992 at Utrecht University. His dissertation, New Results on Data Structures in Computational Geometry, was supervised by Mark Overmars.[2] He is a professor of computer science at Utrecht University.[3]

With Ferran Hurtado, van Kreveld was co-chair of the 2011 Symposium on Computational Geometry.[4] He has also worked in geographic information systems, and (with Jürg Nievergelt, Thomas Roos, and Peter Widmayer) is the author of the textbook Algorithmic Foundations of Geographic Information Systems (Springer, 1997).
