Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlice Lucas is a lead computer vision engineer with nine years of experience building and shipping visual AI systems, currently finetuning diffusion models for advanced image editing and enhancement at Diffusely. She moved up from hands-on CV engineering to lead the group, driving rapid model development and cross-functional product features while fostering team innovation through journal clubs and hackathons. Her PhD from Northwestern focused on deep nets and GAN-based super-resolution, and she has applied ML in biological research at the Broad Institute and contributed to the well-known CellProfiler open-source project. Equally comfortable in research and product contexts, she translates complex AI concepts into accessible language and delivers technically excellent, user-facing functionality. Based in Paris, she combines academic rigor with production experience in generative and biological imaging, often surfacing practical optimizations that improve both model quality and developer velocity.
