About

Who am I?

My name is Lukas. I’ve decided to format this page as a collection of lists so you can quickly get an idea of who I am without needing to read lengthy paragraphs.

Currently, I’m involved in a few activities:

• I organize Altruisme Efectiu UAB.
• I (part-time) organize AI Safety Barcelona.
• Conducting research to build a screwworm-free future 🪰.
• (Slowly) trying to write a paper about population genetics with Prof. Antonio Barbadilla.
• In a personal capacity, I’m writing about normative and meta-ethics.
• + university degrees 😛.

If you’re viewing this website as part of an application process (internship, job application, grant, etc.), the information below may not be very relevant. I recommend checking out my CV on the landing page.

Hobbies

• Reading (here is a list of the things I’m reading).
• Learning new things (MIT OCW, my university’s library, and CrashCourse are invaluable here).
• (Vegan) cooking.
• Calisthenics.

Things I want to learn/read about

These are things I haven’t learned yet (either because they weren’t taught in school or I haven’t gotten to them myself yet):

• Linear algebra.
• Bayesian statistics.
• Non-naturalist arguments for ethical realism.
• Type A vs. Type B physicalism of mind.
• The semiconductor industry.

How I try to live my days

People often say, “How you live your day is how you live your life.” Here are the ideas I try to incorporate into my actions:

• Deliberateness.
• Effective Altruism.
• Hard work.
• Mindfulness.
• Jian Ai (兼爱) / impartiality.
  • I understand that the two are similar (though I might be wrong).

All anonymous feedback is greatly appreciated here.
