Shuyan Zhou @shuyanzh36, Postdoc, Meta Superintelligence Lab
Shuyan Zhou’s official bio says she has been at Duke since August 2025; before that she was a Research Scientist at Meta, not Ruslan Salakhutdinov’s postdoc.
Full reasoning
Shuyan Zhou’s official homepage says she is an Assistant Professor at Duke CS and lists her experience as:
- Assistant Professor, Duke CS — 2025.08–Present
- Research Scientist, Meta — 2024.08–2025.08, under Ruslan Salakhutdinov
- PhD, Carnegie Mellon University — 2018.08–2024.07, advisor Graham Neubig
That directly contradicts this post in two ways:
- It calls her a "Postdoc", but her own experience page says her role under Salakhutdinov was Research Scientist at Meta, not a postdoctoral appointment.
- As of the post date (July 17, 2026), she was already at Duke, not at Meta. Duke’s official faculty announcement lists "Shuyan Zhou, Assistant Professor, 8/1/2025 start date".
So this entry is outdated and misstates both her role and her affiliation: by mid-2026 she was a Duke faculty member, and her earlier Meta role was Research Scientist rather than postdoc.
