Po-Chen Wu is a research scientist at Meta Reality Labs with a decade of experience specializing in hands and interaction tracking for immersive systems. He earned a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from National Taiwan University with cross-institutional mentorship from UC Merced, and has applied his academic work to real-time 6DoF object pose tracking during an Oculus VR internship. Based in Bothell, WA, he blends low-level systems and algorithm development with practical real-time implementation experience from SLAM and AR/VR projects. His trajectory from PhD research to production-focused research at Meta highlights a strong ability to translate advanced perception research into deployable interaction technologies. An often-overlooked strength is his continuity across academia and industry, enabling fast prototyping informed by rigorous research.
