You could try reaching out to Clara Shikhelman or Sergi Delgado who have been working on fostering relations between Bitcoin developers and academics among other things through organizing the Bitcoin Research Week and the Bitcoin Research Prize. Clara has also co-authored some papers on the economics of the LN, so they might have some contacts or ideas that would help. They both have left Chaincode Labs meanwhile, so I’m not sure whether they are still focused on this type of bridge building, but I would expect that they’d reply regardless.
