Ron Resch (Ronald Dale Resch) was an artist, computer scientist, and applied geometrist, known for his work involving folding paper, origami tessellations and 3D polyhedrons.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
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 .[ 8]
He famously designed the Vegreville egg , the first physical structure designed entirely with computer-aided geometric modeling software.
