Stefan Scherer Email & Phone Number | I am a Manager for AI Research Science at Reality Labs Research (Meta) and am researching the future of multimodal human-machine interactions for AR/VR and the metaverse. Prior to working at Meta, I was the CTO of Embodied, Inc. brought on to tackle the primary technical challenge: developing a fluid social interface that respects humans' natural modes of interaction, beyond transactional verbal commands, to enable the next generation of artificial companions. I led the research and development of Embodied's SocialX technology, a revolutionary robotics platform that interprets natural human behavior and drives believable and empathetic robotic behavior through a combination of multimodal sensing, machine learning, and natural language processing. SocialX allows our robot Moxie to perceive, process, and respond to natural conversation, eye contact, and facial expressions both quickly and accurately. Prior to joining Embodied, I led a successful academic career pioneering multimodal machine learning and affective computing research with applications focusing on wicked problems in healthcare (e.g., depression or suicide risk assessment) and education. As a faculty member in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC) and the Associate Director of Neural Information Processing at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT), I secured research awards and contracts exceeding 10M USD to support my lab. My research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health through a prestigious R01 award, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense. My academic work has won several best paper awards and has been featured in international media such as The Economist, The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, Wired Magazine, and the Guardian.
