German-Korean computer scientist

Otfried Cheong (Korean: 오트프리드 정; formerly Otfried Schwarzkopf) is a German computational geometer working in South Korea at KAIST. He is known as one of the authors of the widely used computational geometry textbook Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications (with Mark de Berg, Marc van Kreveld, and Mark Overmars)[1] and as the developer of Ipe, a vector graphics editor.

Cheong completed his doctorate from the Free University of Berlin in 1992 under the supervision of Helmut Alt.[2] He joined KAIST in 2005, after previously holding positions at Utrecht University, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Eindhoven University of Technology.[3] Cheong was co-chair of the Symposium on Computational Geometry in 2006, with Nina Amenta.[4] In 2017 he was recognized by the Association for Computing Machinery as a Distinguished Scientist.[5]
