I took courses with Eppstein at UCI. I was always impressed with his ability to construct clear example diagrams to explain any question.

Glad to see some of these great diagrams were shared with a wider audience :)

He's a legend, I remember in our Graph Algorithm's class our "text book" was mostly composed of the articles that he had written. Glad to see UCI representing here.

The UCI campus ACM club is quite distinguished as well ;)

He's brilliant. After learning he contributed to a massive amount of CS and Math articles on Wikipedia, Wikipedia has become my goto for those types of articles. Before that, I did not know wether or not to trust academic articles on Wikipedia.

I wanted to take 161 with him at UCI. I heard he was great. Unfortunately I had to take it with Hirschberg (who has his picture on the Wikipedia page).. I still get PTSD from those all or nothing multi-part algorithm problems.

I took the advanced data structures course. That guy is chill.
