Lars Quaedvlieg is an AI researcher and Member of Technical Staff at Jump Trading with eight years of experience across industry research roles, including a Research Scientist internship at Meta FAIR. He holds an MSc in Data Science from EPFL (recipient of the EPFL Excellence Fellowship) and has driven applied research in foundation models, state-space models, and offline reinforcement learning—building 7B+ parameter LLMs for mathematics and pre-training transformers on billion-transition RL datasets. His work at InstaDeep and EPFL produced production-scale pipelines and SOTA gains on Atari benchmarks, highlighting a rare blend of large-scale engineering and theoretical rigor. Based in London, he pairs deep technical contributions with hands-on system-building and a persistent focus on long-context problems (200k+ tokens), while balancing research with endurance sports and outdoor pursuits.
