Congratulations to Karolina Krzys for being awarded a Meta (Facebook) PhD Research Fellowship for her work in AR/VR Perception, Cognition and Action!

The Meta PhD Research Fellowship Program awards PhD candidates conducting cutting-edge research in emerging topics across computer science and engineering, including AI system hardware/software co-design, blockchain and cryptoeconomics, human-computer interaction, programming languages, and AR/VR future technologies.

Meta’s 2022 PhD Research Fellow- Karolina Krzys

Karolina is currently taking advantage of Virtual Reality technology to explore cognitive processing across various tasks including visual perception, attention, navigation, and memory.

Her current research seeks to identify mechanisms underlying attentional prioritization of space near the body, such as implication of the visuomotor system or susceptibility to modulation by other cognitive processes.

She hopes to leverage latest advancements in display technology to broaden our understanding of how attention is deployed across depth of 3D space.

We are all so proud of Karolina’s achievement and we look forward to seeing her continue to succeed!
