Timothy M. Chan (born 1976, in Michigan) is Professor in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, where he currently holds a University Research Chair.

He graduated with BA ("summa cum laude") from Rice University in 1992 and completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at UBC in 1995.

He was awarded the Governor General's Gold Medal (as Head of Graduating Class in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at UBC), the NSERC [http://www.nserc.ca/news/1997/p970611_6.htm Doctoral Prize] , and the Premier's Research Excellence Award (PREA) of Ontario, Canada.

His research focuses on computational geometry. Among his many contributions, he is best known for his algorithm on convex hull (often referred to as Chan's Algorithm). He has given a number of invited lectures, notably in DIMACS, MSRI, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and the Workshop on New Horizons in Computing (NHC) in Japan.
