Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use list-defined references Helmut Alt (born 1950) is a German computer scientist whose research concerns graph algorithms and computational geometry. He is known for his work on matching geometric shapes, including methods for efficiently computing the Fréchet distance between shapes. He was also the first to use the German phrase "Algorithmische Geometrie" [algorithmic geometry] to refer to computational geometry.Шаблон:R He is a professor of computer science at the Free University of Berlin.Шаблон:R
Education and career
Alt was born in 1950 in Wolfersweiler, a town in Saarland that later became incorporated into Nohfelden.Шаблон:R He became a student of Kurt Mehlhorn at Saarland University, where he completed his Ph.D. in 1976 on algorithms for parsing context-free languages.Шаблон:R
At the Free University of Berlin, he became the doctoral advisor of many successful students,Шаблон:R including Otfried Cheong (1992), Johannes Blömer (1993), Christian Knauer (2002), Carola Wenk (2002), and Maike Buchin (2007).Шаблон:R
Recognition
The Free University of Berlin held a symposium on 2015 in honor of Alt's 65th birthday.Шаблон:R Another symposium in honor of Alt and Günter Rote was held in 2022 at the Free University of Berlin, in conjunction with the annual International Symposium on Computational Geometry.Шаблон:R At the same International Symposium on Computational Geometry, Alt's work with Michael Godau on using Fréchet distance to measure the similarity of shapes (announced at the 1992 symposium and published in a 1995 journal paper) was given the SoCG Test of Time Award.Шаблон:R
