Gleb Lukicov

Hey there, I'm Gleb, and I'm passionate about empowering data science teams to succeed by building reliable and scalable MLOps solutions โ€” because effective MLOps isn't just about tools; it's about aligning people, processes, and platforms to solve real business problems.

Outside of work, I co-organise the London MLOps community โ€” Europe's largest MLOps meetup โ€” and love sharing what I've learned through blogging and public speaking.

Before entering the tech industry, I conducted scientific research at world-class physics labs in the US and Switzerland, working on large-scale, multidisciplinary projects. In my spare time, I enjoy road cycling and running.

To MLOps, or not to MLOps? ๐Ÿค”

That is the question โ€” the platform is the answer ๐Ÿš€. How does a correct MLOps strategy enable success for data science projects in a large organisation? What is an effective MLOps team?

Interview with the Royal Statistical Society

In this interview, I share my journey from particle physics to data science and MLOps, and how I discovered a passion for building data platforms and helping teams work with data at scale. I talk about my path into the field, my proudest moments as an ML engineering manager, and the importance of good fundamentals, community, and clean data.

Electric Twin & MLOps Community London

In this podcast, I discuss why your business might benefit from MLOps, MLOps Community London meetups and the exciting work we do at Electric Twin on simulating human behaviour in real-time with AI.

Research overview ๐Ÿ”ฌ

The experiment

The g โˆ’ 2 experiment at Fermilab, near Chicago, discovered a tantalising sign of New Physics (a new force of nature!). This was done by measuring a deviation between the experimental and theoretically predicted value of the muon magnetic anomaly. As part of my PhD, I collaborated on the experiment with 200 scientists and engineers.

Software development

To accurately measure this anomaly, a calibration of the tracking detectors is required. The main project of my PhD involved developing, testing and deploying the calibration software framework , which increased the yield of data by 3% and the data quality by 4%. The alignment procedure is a statistical problem, which involved the optimisation of the p-values of tracks via matrix inversion.

Data analysis

There is also an additional measurement that will be made using the tracking detectors: setting a new limit on the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon, producing a world-leading result. I have been developing algorithms to measure the muon EDM , by analysing large and complex datasets using regression and Fourier transform methods.

Presenting at the American Physical Society conference
Presenting at the American Physical Society conference in Boston. My talk highlighted the significance of precise tracking systems in high-energy physics experiments and their role in probing fundamental particle properties.

Data collection

An essential component of the experiment is the data acquisition (DAQ) system, which manages the data flow from the detector electronics. The experiment is acquiring raw data at a rate of 20 GB/s. This is accomplished by employing a parallel data processing architecture using 28 high-speed GPUs (NVIDIA Tesla K40), reducing the recorded data rate to 200 MB/s. To support the smooth operation of the experiment and ensure continuous data taking, a team of data acquisition (DAQ) experts are available for 24/7 support. I have actively participated as the DAQ on-call computing expert between 2017 and 2019.

Education projects ๐Ÿ”ญ

Alumni Talk

Delivering an alumni talk at the Woodhouse College ๐ŸŽ“ about my all-time favourite particle - the muon - and how it can be used for treasure-hunting ๐Ÿ‘‘, making borders more secure ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ, and unlocking the mysteries of the Universe ๐Ÿ”Ž. I come back to the college every year to encourage students in pursuing a career in STEM.

Fermilab Tour

Guiding a public tour of the Fermilab Muon g — 2 experiment. The experiment has measured an anomaly in a property of a fundamental particle, expanding our knowledge of the Universe and providing evidence of the existence of new particles.

Medium Article

I wrote an article about building a personal Bitcoin access point with Raspberry Pi. Read to learn about using an Electrum node for interacting with the decentralised blockchain network.

Your Universe Festival

Explaining spectroscopy ๐Ÿ”ญ to primary school students at the Your Universe astronomy festival at UCL. I was involved with the festival between 2010 and 2015. Every year, I was able to deliver educational activities to 300 pupils. I also had a chance to meet Geraldine Cox during the festival.

Personal interests ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๏ธ

Charity Marathon

As part of a charity fundraising, I ran my first full marathon ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚ (5:31 / 1 km elevation) and cycled 100 km ๐Ÿšด (4:44 / 2 km elevation). This motivated me all the way (twice!) to the top of that mountain, and our team manged to fundraise ยฃ2.3K for Street Child.

Charity Cycling

Next year, our team was back at it! With a mini tour-of-Netherlands: ๐Ÿšด 160 km day 1 (6:28 / 0.8 km elevation) and ๐Ÿšด 175 km day 2 (6:37 / 1.1 km elevation). This time, we have raised ยฃ3.8K for Street Child.
