Bio and Career Highlights
Karan Singh is an expert in Interactive Computer Graphics. Born and raised in India (1969), he holds a BTech. (1991) from
IIT Madras and MS (1992), PhD (1995) from the Ohio State University. He has been an Associate Professor at the Univ. of
Toronto since 2002. His research interests lie in artist driven interactive graphics, spanning geometric and anatomic
modeling, character animation and sketch based interfaces. He has been a technical lead on two commercial projects that
won technical Oscars (Maya, Paraform). These software systems are the current industry standards for animation and
reverse engineering respectively. He is a co-founder of Arcestra, a sketch based software solution for architecture and
industrial design. He lead the design of two research systems based on sketch and sculpt metaphors (www.ilovesketch.com
, www.meshmixer.com), that have been featured on leading design forums. He co-directs a reputed graphics and HCI lab,
DGP, has supervised over 20 MS/PhD theses and is currently supervising 6 MS/PhD students. He was the R&D Director
for the 2005 Oscar winning animated short Ryan and had his first exhibition of electronic art titled Labyrinths, in 2010
www.karanshersingh.com. His current research focus is on 3D shape perception and understanding and sketch/touch based
interfaces.
