SCA 2023 Best Paper Award!

Congratulations to Alvin Shi, Haomiao Wu, and Jarred Parr, who along with Prof. Theodore Kim and collaborator Prof. A.M. Darke (UC Santa Cruz) won the best paper award at SCA 2023 for their paper:

Lifted Curls: A Model for Tightly Coiled Hair Simulation

Citation: This paper presents a drastically more stable hyper elastic energy model for simulating tightly coiled hair with impressive visual results. It enables the simulation of a new hair style with deep mathematical insights and unprecedented numerical stability.
