About

Faramarz Samavati is a leading figure in computer graphics, geometric modeling, and visualization, with a career defined by bridging foundational theory and practical application. His most-cited work includes the influential "Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2013," which reflects his deep engagement with the Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society (CHCCS) and his role in advancing the field’s premier national forum. Samavati’s major contributions center on subdivision surfaces, multiresolution representations, and sketch-based modeling, where he has developed algorithms that enable intuitive, efficient creation and manipulation of complex 3D shapes. His research has garnered over 1,900 citations, underscoring its impact on both academic research and industry applications, particularly in digital heritage, virtual reality, and interactive design. Notably, he has pioneered methods for converting 2D sketches into 3D models, making geometric design accessible to non-experts. As a professor at the University of Calgary, Samavati has also been recognized with multiple best paper awards and has supervised a generation of students who continue to shape the field. His work remains essential reading for anyone exploring the intersection of geometry, interaction, and visual computing.
