Zijian Zhou is a CS PhD candidate at King's College London and a Research Scientist Intern at Meta with a decade of experience building algorithms for perception and large-scale systems. He has cycled between industry and academia—bringing production experience from Horizon Robotics and ByteDance into research roles at Meta—bridging applied algorithm engineering and cutting-edge research. His background in information technology and sustained work on real-world perception stacks means he thinks in terms of both model quality and deployment constraints. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable optimizing low-level inference pipelines and formulating research questions that scale to product settings. Notably, he has returned to Meta for a second research internship, signaling tangible impact and strong collaboration across teams.
