Hi - I'm Lucas and I'm from Nebraska.
I'll spare you the details but here's my quick gist:
- Studied finance in undergrad before working as an investment banker for 2 years
- Knew I wanted a career change...when better than in your early 20s? So I took a gap year where I mostly studied but also had a bit of fun
- Worked on research in grad school @ UCSD. Primarily focused on RL for LLMs (w/ PEARLS Lab) but also worked with UCSD ProgSys. Eventually gave a talk at a NeurIPS workshop on reasoning and published work to ICML
Currently:
Jack of all trades @ Hadrian (Special Projects)
