Lucas Dionisopoulos Professional Research Personal Contact

Hi - I'm Lucas and I'm from Nebraska.

Yes...there was actually a cornfield next to my highschool.

I'll spare you the details but here's my quick gist:


  • WashU in St. Louis (2021 - finance w/ minor in CS)
  • Worked 2 years in investment banking after graduation at FT Partners
  • Realized I needed a career change...when better than in your early 20s? Motivation behind my pivot here
  • Took a year off to study math, machine learning, and computer science and apply to grad schools. Studied a lot but also had a bit of fun
  • Currently:

    At UCSD studying ML (MSCS) + doing research in the Programming Systems Lab 🧠💻🧗

I promise I'm more of a person than this - feel free to reach out! 👋
