Instruments, not products.

  1. Literature mapper

    An interactive similarity graph of a research field, with preprint coverage current to the week.

    Working build
  2. NeurIPS Explorer

    62 NeurIPS 2024/25 papers, distilled and cross-linked for a materials scientist entering AI.

    Private deploy
  3. Japan Dynamics Map

    A dynamics-first graph of Japanese researchers: 5,000 nodes, navigable in a 3D force layout.

    Working build
  4. Slack research copilot

    A local-first dashboard over lab Slack that tracks follow-ups, with a scheduled morning digest.

    Personal use

All built for my own research. That is the whole brief.

Status as of October 2026. None of these tools is publicly available yet.

In internal use

Litreview

A literature review, assembled by a fleet.

A coordinated fleet of AI agents fetches the literature, preprints and journals alike, reads the available full text, and cross-verifies claims before a line is written. The synthesis arrives as a draft review: structured and cited, with each claim tagged to the sources it rests on. Two human checkpoints remain: the author approves the source list and reviews the final text.

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.

To start, send a short note: your team, one workflow bottleneck, how you handle it today, who would use the tool, your timing, and how sensitive the data is. Please do not send confidential files in a first message.
