Hi, I‘m Jonathan Klimesch aka PhylomatX (Physics, Philosophy and InformatX).
I‘m co-founder and CEO of Feyer in Tübingen. We develop AI for automated physical invention, combining differentiable physics simulators with algorithms that explore new hardware designs beyond human intuition.
Before Feyer, I researched the computational discovery of gravitational-wave detectors in the Artificial Scientist Lab at the University of Tübingen.
Besides that, I am excited about epistemic technologies. I believe that designing better mechanisms for structuring and sharing knowledge is one of the most important things we can do to improve our future.
My philosophy tells me to maximize our available choices for action.
