Jorge Urrutia Galicia is a Mexican mathematician and computer scientist in the Institute of Mathematics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His research primarily concerns discrete and computational geometry.
Education and career
Urrutia earned his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo in 1980, under the supervision of Ronald C. Read. He worked for many years at the University of Ottawa before moving to UNAM in 1999. With Jörg-Rüdiger Sack in 1991, he was founding co-editor-in-chief of the academic journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.
Recognition
Urrutia is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. The Mexican Conference on Discrete Mathematics and Computational Geometry, held in 2013 in Oaxaca, was dedicated to Urrutia in honor of his 60th birthday.
