Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Koukoufilippas is an AI researcher and astrophysicist with nine years’ experience applying machine learning, Bayesian inference and high-performance computing to cosmology and real-world AI problems. During his DPhil at Oxford he led the theoretical predictions pipeline for the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, secured extra funding, and co-authored multiple peer‑reviewed papers extracting novel signals from cosmological data. He has mentored over 100 students in AI, data science and quantitative finance—designing bespoke curricula that turned into student publications and competition wins—and now tutors and researches at Lumiere Education and Scale AI’s Human Frontier Collective. Comfortable moving between rigorous statistical theory and production-focused model evaluation, he also has hands-on experience adversarial-testing LLMs under NDA. Based in Oxford, he is seeking quantitative research or AI research roles where scientific rigour drives measurable impact.
