Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent Mai is a Senior ML Research Scientist with 11 years of experience building applied reinforcement-learning and foundational-model solutions for real-world systems, currently at LawZero and teaching RL in a master's program. His work spans energy systems and robotics—from optimizing turbine start-ups and electrical network models at Hydro-Québec to PhD research at Mila on RL for physical systems—combining rigorous academic training with deployment-focused research. He brings a multidisciplinary engineering background (PhD Computer Science, robotics MSc from ETH Zürich, engineering physics) and a track record in AI ethics and deliberation from Algora Lab and the Montreal Declaration. Comfortable translating between research, policy, and industry, he explores practical opportunities and risks of large language models in critical infrastructure—an uncommon blend that helps bridge laboratory advances and operational constraints.
