Ilya Lasy is a PhD candidate and machine learning engineer based in Vienna with eight years of professional experience and three years focused on ML in industry. He has built RL agents, LLM-driven automation, graph representation learning, and computer vision systems—most notably an RL-based UI-bug finder and LLM pipelines for translating natural language into browser actions. His work bridges research and product: a Master's thesis on open-domain conversational AI led to poster presentations and follow-on QA research, and current PhD and alignment fellowship projects probe MoE router behavior and interpretability. Ilya prioritizes socially responsible AI, emphasizing fairness, interpretability, and efficiency alongside technical performance. A background that spans Java enterprise systems to cutting-edge ML gives him a pragmatic edge in taking models from theory to production.
