Research Scientist at Meta
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJian Wang is a research scientist with a decade of experience specializing in egocentric human motion capture and pose estimation, now working at Meta after completing a PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. His research focuses on learning robust human motion priors from head-mounted fisheye cameras and advancing photorealistic body reconstruction using Gaussian Splatting. Jian also explores multimodal-conditioned human motion generation, bridging geometry, learning-based priors, and novel rendering techniques. Trained originally in chemistry before transitioning to computer science, he brings a cross-disciplinary mindset to challenging perception problems. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines rigorous academic foundations with applied research aimed at real-world AR/VR capture scenarios. Notably, his work emphasizes robustness to egocentric viewpoints—a niche that unlocks new interactions for wearable sensing.
