Hi, I'm Lucas, a research scientist at Spotify in London, UK. My research interests revolve around machine learning, algorithms and statistics.

I got my PhD in 2018; my thesis is about efficiently learning preferences from comparisons and was supported by a Google PhD fellowship.

  1. Jul 2023, looking forward to presenting our paper on impatient bandits at KDD 2023.
  2. Feb 2023, our preprint on optimizing audio recommendations for the long-term is on arXiv.
