The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (电子科技大学, UESTC), a "Double First-Class" engineering university headquartered at the Qingshuihe campus in Chengdu's Hi-Tech Zone (West), Sichuan, is one of China's more research-active academic players in digital humans, with activity spanning core generative technology, health applications, and campus deployment across its constituent schools and affiliated bodies. Its flagship effort is the MediaLab within the Visual Intelligence Research Center (视觉智能研究中心) in the School of Information and Communication Engineering, led by Professor Chen Jianwen (陈建文), whose portfolio explicitly pairs "virtual humans and digital humans" (虚拟人与数字人) — deep-learning photorealistic human generation, facial driving, motion capture, and voice synthesis — under the BingoMeta program, framed as core technology for digital human reconstruction and driving and a bridge between real-world and digital-world persons en route to the metaverse; the lab extends this into a digital-human-assisted depression diagnosis system (MindSense) studying multimodal-perception digital humans for emotion recognition. Other UESTC schools contribute applied work: the School of Computer Science and Engineering (网络空间安全学院) has fielded a panda-themed teaching digital human ("小电") in outreach, the School of Management and Economics has explored digital-human use in online course resources (in collaboration with Huawei), the graduate division has run digital-human competition tracks, and faculty in public administration have published on government-affairs digital humans. At the institutional level, UESTC has been an early adopter in education and campus operations — deploying an AI "digital counselor" to orient incoming students, virtual instructors and an ideological-and-political teaching digital human ("小思," built on an iSiZheng-style large model), hosting digital-human "humanities" lecture series and forums at its Robot Center and Future Media Research Center, and producing a reflective, robopsychology-relevant strand of campus commentary probing the simulated nature of AI digital humans' emotions; through its Chengdu base it also anchors a Bashu cultural-creative (digital) industry-education alliance. Among entities sharing the UESTC name, only UESTC Zhongshan College (电子科技大学中山学院, Zhongshan, Guangdong) qualifies as associated — an independent college that has run large-model-driven digital-human interaction training — whereas Guilin University of Electronic Technology is unaffiliated and excluded.
