About
I’m Lucian, a systems researcher and software engineer pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science, Networks, Internet and Systems Engineering at the University of Strasbourg (B.S., 6th out of 122), alongside the selective five-year Cursus Master en Ingénierie (CMI) track. I am drawn to foundational software: tools, runtimes, languages, and infrastructure that other engineers, researchers, and scientists can build on.
Currently, I am a visiting student researcher at Northwestern University’s Prescience Lab under Professor Peter Dinda, where I work on systems research and explore how AI can accelerate, support, and potentially automate parts of that work. This work became my master’s thesis, Medovik: Simplifying Porting to Trusted Execution Environments.
Previously, advised by Professor Quentin Bramas, I contributed to Althread, an educational language for model checking distributed systems, extending its Rust compiler and import system and building a web IDE. I’ve also applied that same systems thinking outside the lab: at Emerson, I built a full-stack platform that saved over 800 hours annually, and I led a student team designing a privacy-centric IoT platform for crowdsourcing scientific data.
I am actively seeking internship, job, and research collaboration opportunities starting in September 2026, especially roles such as systems engineer, software engineer, research engineer, or developer tooling engineer, working on open-source developer tools, agentic tooling, evaluation harnesses, command-line interfaces, and infrastructure for research and engineering workflows. I am also open to adjacent roles where I can build useful systems and learn quickly.
