Top SchoolDavid Meger is an Associate Professor at McGill University and co-director of the Mobile Robotics Lab, with nine years of focused academic experience and a decade-plus background translating research into deployed robotic systems. His team leads in reinforcement learning for continuous control and state-of-the-art 3D perception networks that are widely adopted across industry and validated in field deployments from Canadian sites to Caribbean coral reefs. He bridges deep research and practical engineering through his role at Kinsol Research, turning noisy sensor data, NLP-driven recommendations, and mesh-network routing into robust products. Known for reviving Active Vision with modern statistical learning, he combines rigorous theory with hands-on systems work—often guiding students to ship code that attains top-tier performance benchmarks. David is committed to designing robots that integrate responsibly with climate, biology, and diverse human communities, and runs a deliberately inclusive lab culture that nurtures multidisciplinary collaboration.
