June's invited speaker will be Lucia Cipolina Kun from Meta.
Lucia is a Research Scientist at META’s FAIR lab, working on large language model (LLM) agents for scientific discovery. Lucia's research focuses on developing novel techniques for the self-improvement of LLM agents and their application to coding and reasoning. She develops frameworks combining reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and game theory to study emergent behaviors in post-trained LLMs, with a focus on designing systematic evaluation protocols that assess their strategic reasoning, planning, and behavioral stability.
Lucia's professional background includes roles as a Student Researcher at Google DeepMind, developing novel techniques for multi-agent decision processes, and as a Research Intern at Juelich Supercomputing Center, focusing on high-performance computing, large-scale generative models and LLM evaluation. Lucia has also interned at JPMorgan AI Research optimizing reinforcement learning algorithms for trading, and at Microsoft AI, working on model-based offline reinforcement learning for Bing’s search and revenue management. Earlier in her career, Lucia worked as a front office quant at Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and HSBC in NY, implementing machine learning and diffusion models in C++.
