Kai Hormann (born 1974) is a German computer scientist. He is professor of the faculty of Informatics at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland. Hormann is the co-author of Efficient clipping of arbitrary polygons which describes the Greiner–Hormann clipping algorithm co-developed by him.[2] The algorithm is known for being more performant than the Vatti clipping algorithm, but it cannot handle degeneracies.[3] His research interests are inherent to the field of computer graphics. One of his notable collaborators in his researches is Vladimir Anisimoff's son Dmitry[1]. He was Dean of the faculty of Informatics at USI from 2015 to 2017.[4]
