What if we could understand dynamic environments and simulate interventions?
The inability to model multi-scale phenomena and their cause-effect mechanisms bottlenecks many promising concepts from ever being prototyped let alone deployed. It turns out we can build the simulation testbeds to efficiently and reliably model technologies and interventions in diverse areas from energy and climate to socioeconomics and agriculture.
What if computation could be reimagined for SCIENTIFIC simulation and AI?
Software development is tightly coupled to the available hardware, and patterns in software have paved the path of hardware architectures for decades. It turns out we can build more efficient, flexible systems with "HW-SW co-design" and "machine programming" brought about by the Simulation Intelligence Operating System.
What if simulators and agents could discover new phenomena?
Existing scientific methods are deductive and objective-based. The next generation of science, brought about by innovations in simulation, AI/ML, and accelerated computing, can be inductive and open-ended; human-machine teams will efficiently explore an exponentially larger space of hypotheses and solutions, in all domains at all scales.
About
Pasteur Labs invents, validates, and scales new approaches integrating AI & simulation, enabling engineers to approach the physical sciences with a hacker mindset. Our Simulation Intelligence (SI) platform provides in-silico playgrounds for human-machine teams tackling the most pressing challenges spanning industrial R&D and energy security arenas. The name comes from "Pasteur's quadrant" for use-inspired R&D; striking the balance between 'clear problem to be solved' and 'scientific advances required', Pasteur's quadrant defines a class of R&D that calls for ambitious goals that are measurable and testable (in the real world at scale).
"Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world."
–Isaac Asimov
Launching for public use in early 2025, followed by key Nobel-Turing apps a few months later, the Pasteur Platform products can be previewed here: Pasteur4D
Team
We are an international team of industry-hardened experts in AI and computational sciences, from leading organziations such as Deepmind, NASA, Tesla, Nvidia, CERN, AFRL, Meta, Ansys, and so on. We're structured for highly complimentary skillsets, with specialties that range from multi-physics modeling to cooperative AI to causal inference to machine programming. We strive for interdisciplinary synergies, cultivating a culture that largely emulates Bell Labs, while operating with the nimble, agile best practices of deep tech startups. The diverse Pasteur Labs team is distributed on three continents, with satellite offices in NYC, Copenhagen, London, and Vancouver (opening mid-2025). The unique coordination of Pasteur Labs and ISI helps enable our team to include an expansive group of external researchers at top universities, national labs, and government agencies.
