Nelson Chu, a PhD candidate of the Computer Science Department, has transformed the traditional art of Chinese calligraphy for the third millennium by developing a digital ink painting software package named MoXi. His paper "Real-Time Painting with an Expressive Virtual Chinese Brush" was published in the IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications journal in 2004. Another, "MoXi: Real-Time Ink Dispersion in Absorbent Paper" was published in ACM Transactions on Graphics in 2005 (SIGGRAPH 2005 issue). His research on ink simulation is the first purely local project to be entered at the prestigious International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH).
