Biography
Dr. Craig Kaplan is a professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Kaplan studies the application of mathematical and computational techniques in art, illustration, ornamentation, and design. This research area is rooted in computer graphics, but involves forays into art (to study historical sources) classical and computational geometry (to develop mathematical and computational models of ornament), and computer-aided design and manufacturing. His goal is to push forward the frontiers of computer graphics and geometry in order to put new tools in the hands of artists and designers. These tools should be sensitive to the artist's needs and desires---they should offer new aesthetic opportunities without usurping the artistic process.
