Advaith Sridhar
Founder of matforge, AI scientists to discover materials for the semiconductor industry.
Company
Advaith Sridhar is listed as a founder of matforge. We build AI scientists that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry - specifically datacenters and fabs. Finding novel materials today takes 10+ years of lab work. We aim to compress that timeline to months, using a swarm of AI agents. Akash completed his PhD at Stanford on material discovery for semiconductors. The materials he discovered for nanoscale interconnects have been adopted into the roadmaps of Intel and TSMC. Advaith was the founding applied scientist at Persona AI (acquired by Luma Labs), where he built long horizon autonomous agents for major telecom and crypto companies. Power consumption and heat release from AI chips is doubling every year. The semiconductor industry needs new materials to keep this exponential going - Matforge will help find them.

We had an office hours session with @paulg yesterday (!!), and the first thing he told us to do was to change our domain name. This was quite incredible for us - we thought we had many problems, but never thought our name might be one of them. In any case, check out the to Show more

Auto-research to find new materials.
Auto-research to find new materials. 🧪 Instead of optimising a neural network, turns out you can ask claude to propose new materials. We had it search for candidates that might be good thermal conductors. It ran phonon calculations on its proposals to verify that the materials...
