Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLukass Kellijs is an undergraduate researcher at Yale University specializing in applying theoretical and computational methods—particularly physical modeling and machine learning—to engineering problems. He currently develops ML-driven inverse design tools for optical systems at the Logan Wright Applied Physics Lab and has explored physics-informed losses for neural operator models during a research internship at ETH Zürich. With a 3.99 GPA in Engineering/Applied Physics and a decade of practical experience spanning high-power rocketry avionics to CubeSat and liquid propulsion projects, he blends rigorous theory with hands-on systems engineering. He also channels his interest in STEM education and outreach through leadership roles in the Yale Undergraduate Aerospace Association. Comfortable at the intersection of simulation, data-driven modeling, and hardware, he seeks opportunities that bridge computational research with real-world aerospace and green-tech applications. An uncommon strength is his track record of translating advanced ML concepts into experimental lab workflows that inform physical design decisions.
