Jasmine Liang, PhD

I develop AI methods and translate them into scalable systems — across simulation, perception, and production. My work spans computational biomechanics, wearable sensor perception, scientific machine learning, agentic AI, and production character animation. I build and harness AI systems end-to-end: from research prototype to deployed pipeline.

The thread through it all.

I work at the intersection of simulation, perception, and production — developing AI methods and systems for understanding human motion and physical interaction. My background spans a PhD in Computer Science and Biomechanics from Iowa State University, postdoctoral research in scientific machine learning at the University of Notre Dame, and current work in computer vision and physical AI at Meta Reality Labs.

My research experience includes wearable and camera-based sensing, time-series analysis, temporal deep learning, and human–object interaction. I'm also interested in how generative and agentic AI can support robotics and embodied systems.
