GIGL graduate Hua Li is the recipient of the prestigious Alain Fournier award for the best computer graphics dissertation in Canada in 2013. The award will be presented at Graphics Interface 2014 in Montreal in May. Hua's work concentrated on image stylization, producing beautiful halftoning, stippling, and line drawing effects (see her thesis here). Hua previously won the Michael A. J. Sweeney award for best student paper at Graphics Interface in 2010, and her paper on continuous-line drawing was an honorable mention for the best paper award at ARTECH 2012.
