Ron Resch
Ron Resch (Ronald Dale Resch, 1939 – November 24, 2009) was an artist, computer scientist, and applied geometrist, known for his work involving folding paper, origami tessellations and 3D polyhedrons. Resch studied art at the University of Iowa receiving his Master of Fine Arts. Subsequently, he was a professor of architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he was affiliated with the Coordinated Science Laboratory. He went on to become a professor of computer science at the University of Utah. He famously designed the Vegreville egg, the first physical structure designed entirely with computer-aided geometric modeling software.
