Thomas Hull

Thomas Hull earned at B.A from Hampshire College in 1991 and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Rhode Island in 1997. He is currently an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Western New England College in Springfield, MA. He has written two origami instructions books ("Origami, Plain and Simple" with Robert Neale and "Russian Origami" with Sergei Afonkin, both published by St. Martin's Press), edited the proceedings book "Origami^3" (A K Peters), and written "Project Origami: Activities for Exploring Mathematics" (also A K Peters). His main research area as a math professor is, not surprisingly, the connections between paper folding and mathematics, and he has invented many origami designs of his own. One of his most famous designs, the Five Intersecting Tetrahedra, was named one of the Top 10 Origami Models of All-Time by the British Origami Society.
