Vincent Roulet
Research Scientist at Google
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVincent Roulet is a research scientist in Seattle with seven years of experience at the intersection of optimization and machine learning, currently researching at Google after academic roles at the University of Washington. His work blends rigorous theory and practical algorithms—developing regularized control methods, accelerated schemes for non-smooth structured prediction, and smoothness analyses for deep networks—often mentoring students to translate ideas into implementations. Trained at École Polytechnique and École Normale Supérieure, he combines strong mathematical foundations with hands-on engineering, from convolutional kernel optimization to semi-supervised deep methods. Notably, he has a track record of turning theoretical constructs (Moreau envelopes, target propagation analyses) into teachable coursework and reproducible research, and early entrepreneurship experience building an award-winning portable speaker highlights a pragmatic, product-minded side.
