Research Scientist at Meta
Menlo Park, California, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolChia-hsien Shih is a research scientist and soon-to-be Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with eight years of experience applying machine learning to soft-robot manipulation and locomotion. He builds physical simulation environments and leverages Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and Docker to develop imitation learning and multi-agent reinforcement learning solutions for embodied AI. His academic work includes reconstructing robotic prototype properties from video and integrating fluid–structure modeling from time at Technion, reflecting a strong blend of theory and hands-on experimentation. He has industrial research experience at Meta and Fujitsu, where he applied GenAI and visual-language models to real-world products. Based in Menlo Park, he thrives in collaborative, Git-driven teams and has a track record of teaching and building interactive learning tools for engineering students. An understated strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency—from front-end prototyping to cloud-enabled ML experiments—making him effective at turning research into deployable systems.
