About
I’m Lucian, a systems researcher and software engineer. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science, Networks, Internet and Systems Engineering from the University of Strasbourg (B.S., 6th out of 122), completed alongside the selective five-year Cursus Master en Ingénierie (CMI) track. I am drawn to foundational software: tools, runtimes, languages, and infra that other engineers, researchers, and scientists can build on.
At the end of August 2026, I defended my master’s thesis, Medovik: Simplifying Porting to Trusted Execution Environments, from six months as a visiting student researcher at Northwestern University’s Prescience Lab under Professor Peter Dinda.
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 looking for full-time roles and research collaborations — systems engineer, software engineer, research engineer, or developer tooling engineer, working on open-source developer tools, agentic tooling, evaluation harnesses, or infrastructure for research and engineering workflows. I am also open to joining an early-stage startup on an interesting idea, provided the role is compensated.
