Avis received his Ph.D. in 1977 from Stanford University.[1] He has published more than 70 journal papers and articles. Writing with Komei Fukuda, Avis proposed a reverse-search algorithm for the vertex enumeration problem; their algorithm generates all of the vertices of a convex polytope.[AF92][AF96]
