Hi there!

I want to have as much positive impact as I can.

Axioms:

  1. We will with high probability achieve AGI 1 in my lifetime
  2. Scientific progress allows us to enormously improve people’s lives

Corollary: We should use AGI to massively accelerate research while ensuring that the gains we obtain from that for good. On a more personal note, this will also be incredibly cool

Also I really love meeting new interesting people! Thus, if anything on this website seems interesting to you, you are more than./ welcome to write me a mail and we can gladly go for lunch or a coffee.

Cheers,

Lukas

I am really grateful for anonymous feedback :)


Short summary of my CV:

  • In 2021, I had the pleasure of participating in the Research Science Institute, a six-week research program held at MIT with amazing people from all over the world
  • I participated in the Informatics Olympiad with reasonable success, being one of the four people to represent Switzerland internationally in 2020 and 2022 respectively. I also qualified for the final rounds of the Swiss Biology and Physics Olympiad
