Applied Science Works
About Applied Science Works
Our mission is to accelerate the development of groundbreaking ceramic and amorphous materials through advanced AI methodologies, ensuring efficient synthesis and testing processes.
Innovating Materials with AI
At the forefront of materials science, we combine advanced AI techniques with physics-based computational models to revolutionize the development of new ceramic and amorphous materials. By integrating multimodal AI with first-principles methods, we aim to streamline synthesis and testing, significantly reducing the time from concept to realization.
Key Highlights
Beyond Traditional Methods
Transforming traditional trial-and-error methods with computational, AI-guided material design.
Collaboration by Design
Fostering close collaboration between AI researchers and materials scientists so every prediction is grounded in domain expertise.
Our Team
Shaibal Roy LinkedIn
Chief Executive Officer
Shaibal has co-founded three successful startups: the first was acquired by Netscape, the second by BlackBerry (RIM), and the third, Cozeva, which he led as CEO through a successful sale. As Chief Architect at RIM (BlackBerry) from 2002 to 2006, he grew consumer email service from 400,000 to 14 million handsets, laying groundwork later mirrored across the smartphone industry. Earlier, he held engineering roles at Bell Labs, Sybase, and Charles Schwab. He holds a PhD from Stanford, an undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and 25+ patents, and now applies that same systems-at-scale thinking to AI-driven materials discovery.
Sai Gautam Gopalakrishnan LinkedIn
Chief Scientist
Sai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, where his research applies computational materials science and materials informatics to energy storage and energy harvesting materials. He earned his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at MIT under Prof. Gerbrand Ceder, was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton with Prof. Emily A. Carter, and holds a dual degree from IIT Madras. His academic work in first-principles materials modeling directly informs Applied Science Works' approach to ab initio design.
