Research Scientist Intern, Machine Perception for Input and Interaction (PhD)

Reality Labs (RL) teams are looking for exceptional interns to help us create next generation interaction technologies for virtual and augmented reality. Join a full-stack team working on computer vision, machine learning, geometric and appearance modeling, physically-based modeling, sensor design and fusion, and human computer interaction. We are accepting applications from those interested in (but not limited to) the following areas: *Tracking of hands, bodies and objects and their interactions through machine learning, computer vision and sensor fusion *Egocentric human action recognition and emotion recognition *Hand motion sequence modeling for hand-object interaction using deep generative models or physical simulation *Representation modeling (e.g., implicit, appearance, geometry) of hands, bodies and objects for fast simulation and tracking *Efficient deep learning (e.g., neural architecture search, sparsity, quantized networks) *Interaction design for hands, bodies and objects in virtual reality and augmented reality *Sensor fusion (e.g. of pressure, RF, EXG, IMU) with optical tracking *Efficient and generalizable detectors for predicting keypoints, segmentations, normals, and depth *Accurate and efficient 3D representations of deformable shapes such as clothing and hair **Responsibilities** *Design and execution of algorithms in the domain of computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, sensor fusion, or HCI *Software and hardware prototyping *Design of user studies and experiments *Collaboration with other researchers across various disciplines *Communication of research agenda, progress, and results
