David Arthur Eppstein is a computer scientist, mathematician and Life enthusiast from California.

For many years Dr. Eppstein maintained the "Gliders in Life-Like Cellular Automata" online database at fano.ics.uci.edu/ca/. That website has been offline since sometime in 2018, but there have been updates to the underlying database, and a replacement online search utility for the database has since been created.[note 1]
