Philip Hatcher

Phil Hatcher has been a faculty member at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) since 1986. Hatcher received a B.S. in mathematics from Purdue University in 1978, an M.S. in computer science from Purdue University in 1979, and a Ph.D. in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1985. He is a member of ACM, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa, and the IEEE Computer Society. In 1992 he received the Outstanding Assistant Professor Award from UNH. In 1996 Hatcher was appointed to a Norman and Marie Waite Professorship at UNH. In 2017 Hatcher was given the Class of 1944 Professorship Award. In 1997-1999, 2003-2006 and 2007-2011, Hatcher was the Chair of the Department of Computer Science at UNH.
