Top SchoolColin Barré-brisebois is a seasoned graphics and AI technology leader who currently serves as General Manager of SEED, Electronic Arts’ applied R&D arm, overseeing a distributed team of top researchers across rendering, ML, vision and physics. With over two decades in games and nearly a decade in senior EA leadership roles, he has steered real-time ray tracing, ML-driven content creation, and digital-human projects from research to production and publication. His background spans hands-on rendering engineering on blockbuster titles through to defining multi-year graphics roadmaps and building high-performing teams across studios. Colin holds a strong academic footprint with conference keynotes, book contributions and multiple patents, and he has a history of industry partnerships (notably with Microsoft and NVIDIA) that turned experimental tech into platform-launch demonstrations. Notably, he led the PICA PICA real-time ray-tracing experiment that blended self-learning agents with procedural worlds—a hint of his interest in combining procedural content, ML and interactive graphics.
