(Chancellor's/President's Award for Excellence in Teaching)
Joe Mitchell is one of the country’s leaders in computational geometry, which studies
the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient algorithms to solve geometric
problems. His particular interest is applications to problems in computer graphics,
visualization, robotics, manufacturing, geographic information systems, and computer
vision. A major current application is helping air traffic controllers route airplanes
around bad weather.
