Computer Graphics Achievement Award

ACM SIGGRAPH recognizes Jessica Hodgins for her contributions in the field of physically based animation. Her research has had a significant impact on our understanding, simulation, and animation of how people and other creatures move. She, together with her students and postdocs, has achieved this understanding by developing new techniques in simulation, control systems, and motion capture. She has also led efforts in helping us understand how people perceive motion of both simulated characters and real humans.
