Materials chemistry research tooling

I study matter. I build the instruments that read the literature.

Tools for the way research actually moves.

  1. Literature cartography

    Mapping engines with fresh preprint coverage. The chart of a field as it stands this week — not as it stood last year.

    Engines
  2. Conference navigation

    Paper explorers that make a conference of ten thousand submissions legible — whether you have read the field for a decade or arrived this morning.

    Explorers
  3. Agentic reading

    Pipelines of agents built to fetch, read, and cross-verify claims at scale.

    Pipelines

The shared aim: weeks of literature work, compressed into hours.

In the lab

Litreview

A literature review, assembled by a fleet.

A coordinated fleet of AI agents fetches the literature — preprints and journals alike — reads it in full, and cross-verifies claims before a line is written. The synthesis arrives as a draft review: structured, cited, every claim holding a path back to its source.

04 Commission

If your group spends more time searching than thinking, write.

I take a small number of commissions — research tooling designed and built for labs and R&D teams, shaped to how your group works.
