Lucas Kluge studied Physics at the Technical University of Berlin, including a visiting research period at Duke University, and completed his Master of Science in 2019. He subsequently joined the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) as a doctoral researcher, where he developed computational models of international human migration.

His dissertation, Accounting for Geographic and Social Heterogeneity in Models of Human Migration, focused on the calibration and evaluation of large-scale bilateral migration models disaggregated by demographic properties.

In 2022, Kluge was a visiting researcher at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), where he worked on the coupling of migration and demographic projection models and the development of socioeconomic projections. He received his PhD from the University of Potsdam in 2023. His published work spans migration modelling and computational physics.

Lucas Kluge now works as a consultant with a focus on data engineering and architecture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
