SuperRadiant on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Every instance of intelligence occurring in nature is embodied. Scientific intelligence is no different. We are building general-purpose robotic experimentalists: systems that unite scientific reasoning and physical action to iterate toward discovery by observing, hypothesizing and experimenting. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "SuperRadiant builds Embodied Scientific Intelligence: general-purpose robotic experimentalists that observe, hypothesize, and run experiments in the real world." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Owen Tower, Founder/CEO: Founder at SuperRadiant. PhD in Physics from Brown, where he invented novel algorithms to discover phase transitions in random-field Ising models, in addition to using micro and nanofluidics to study analogous system experimentally. Research experience at NASA JPL and CERN/LHC. Trained in nanofabrication, microfluidics, and ML methods including PINNs and reinforcement learning. (source)
  • Cooper Niu, Founder/CTO: PhD candidate in Physics at Brown University. Created ALBERT, an autonomous AI particle physicist that proposes, verifies, and iteratively refines physics theories; given pre-1990 data, it recovered the top quark's mass and properties in under an hour. Previously researched neutrinos at Fermilab on the NOvA experiment. Featured in APS Physics Magazine: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v19/119 (source)
  • Benedict Quartey, Founder: Founder at SuperRadiant. PhD in Computer Science from Brown University where I researched generally capable, verifiable robots and spatial world models. Previously developed AI systems that combined learning, reasoning, and planning for long-horizon autonomy at the Boston Dynamics Robotics & AI Institute. (source)
