Hsiao-yu Chen is a research scientist with nine years of experience designing high-fidelity physical simulation pipelines, currently at Meta in Austin. With a PhD in Computational Science from UT Austin and a background in electrical engineering, she blends rigorous mathematical modeling and deep learning to simulate deformable materials—work that includes modeling hysteresis in cloth and learning elastic deformation dynamics. Her trajectory from research intern roles at Walt Disney Animation Studios and Meta to a research scientist position reflects a strong ability to translate academic insight into production-capable systems. She is particularly skilled at coupling physics-based models with data-driven techniques to improve realism and robustness in simulation.
