Summary
Michal Lukasik is a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind with 13 years of experience applying machine learning to product-scale problems, specializing in LLM inference and post-training, loss function design, information retrieval, and reinforcement learning. He combines a strong academic foundation (PhD in Computer Science, MSc and BSc) with practical impact—his prior Google Research internship produced a neural recommender that improved relevance by 30% over a competitive baseline. Michal’s work spans theory and application, from submodular optimization for social visibility to stochastic models of temporal text spread, reflecting a knack for marrying principled methods with measurable product gains. Based in the New York City area, he is known for improving model numeracy and reasoning through targeted post-training strategies and novel loss formulations that translate directly into better downstream performance.
