Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLukas Malik is a Senior Data Scientist based in Zurich with 7 years of experience at the intersection of AI research, machine learning engineering, and computational social science. He combines rigorous academic training—MS in Artificial Intelligence (Paris-Saclay), MS in Data Science (TU Eindhoven) and an earlier background in psychology—with hands-on product and startup experience as a former co-founder and AI engineer. Lukas has shipped practical on-device NLP solutions, including work on extreme compression of sentence-transformer ranker models, and has applied model quantization and distillation to make ML efficient for edge deployment. He has moved fluidly between research roles (Complexity Science Hub, Tufts collaboration) and industry positions (Xayn, Unic, now Galenica), bridging experimental methods and production constraints. Equally comfortable prototyping research ideas and driving engineering delivery, he brings a data-driven mindset informed by psychological insight into human–AI interaction. Colleagues describe him as a thoughtful scientist-entrepreneur who prioritizes efficient, deployable models over academic novelty alone.
