Summary
Sally Chen is a research-focused computer vision scientist with nine years of experience applying vision and ML to cities, architecture, and human faces. Currently a Research Scientist Intern at Meta, she works on dynamic scene reconstruction and previously published CVPR 2023 work on neural-implicit face/expression control that improved local detail and blendshape compatibility. Her background spans industry and academia—from developing adversarial view-synthesis tools for city-scale scenes at UofT Robotics Institute to filing a patent and building ML/NLP/vision pipelines at RBC. Sally holds advanced vision training from Carnegie Mellon (MS, PhD candidate) and brings practical systems experience in 3D perception and robotics from roles at Epson and Flawless. A lifelong learner with broad curiosities, she combines rigorous research with engineering pragmatism and a knack for improving controllability in learned rendering systems.
