The list of 2023 Meta PhD scholarships is released: more than 1/3 are Chinese scholars

Meta has just announced the list of 2023 PhD Fellowships.

Meta PhD Fellowships are designed to reward cutting-edge research by doctoral candidates in disciplines such as computer science, engineering, and behavioral sciences. The winner will receive full tuition and fees for two academic years and a $42,000 stipend.

In addition to generous prizes, winners will also have many opportunities to interact with Meta researchers to further understand industry research and make their own research more in-depth.

Meta Doctoral Fellowships are in their 12th year and have supported more than 200 doctoral students around the world. This year, the organizing committee received more than 3,200 applications from more than 100 universities around the world and selected 21 winners from 12 universities, more than 1/3 of whom were Chinese doctoral students.

The following is the list of Chinese doctoral students who won this award:

He is currently working on data storage and ingestion systems to manage training data in industrial-scale machine learning pipelines.

Applied Statistics

Victoria Lin (Carnegie Mellon University)

Victoria Lin graduated from Harvard University and is now a doctoral student in the Department of Statistics and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, conducting research under the guidance of Louis-Philippe Morency and Edward Kennedy. Her research focuses on developing causal inference methods to enable principle-based and transparent machine learning in modern data environments. She is also interested in using machine learning methods to better facilitate the estimation of complex causal effects and counterfactuals.

AR/VR Computer Graphics

Yiling Qiao (University of Maryland, College Park)

Yiling Qiao graduated from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences with a bachelor's degree and is now a fourth-year doctoral student at the University of Maryland, College Park, supervised by Professor Ming Lin. His research interests focus on physics-based simulations. He has been researching differentiable simulation and its applications in virtual reality/augmented reality, graphics, robotics, etc. Before that, he received a bachelor's degree in computer science and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and conducted some shape analysis research. While pursuing his PhD, he interned at Intel Labs, Meta Reality Labs, and NVIDIA.

AR/VR Human Understanding

Jinkun Cao (Carnegie Mellon University)

Jinkun Cao graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and is now a third-year PhD student in robotics at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on the analysis, modeling, and synthesis of human motion in videos. Applications range from object tracking to human character motion synthesis.

AR/VR Human-Computer Interaction

Yue Jiang (Aalto University)

Yue Jiang graduated from the University of Toronto in Canada with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the University of Maryland, College Park in the United States. He is currently studying for a PhD under the guidance of Professors Antti Oulasvirta and Vikas Garg at Aalto University in Finland and the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Center. Her research focuses on applying computational methods to adaptive user interfaces. She also worked closely with Professor Wolfgang Stuerzlinger from Simon Fraser University in Canada and Professor Christof Lutteroth from the University of Bath in the UK to conduct a series of research on the OR-Constraint (ORC) adaptive GUI layout project.

Wireless AR/VR

Shuaifeng Jiang (Arizona State University)

Shuaifeng Jiang is a doctoral student in the Wireless Intelligence Laboratory of Arizona State University.
