# Filip Auksztol

> Filip Auksztol is the CEO and founder of Quantum Boost, a London-based deep-tech startup that uses machine learning to help chemists formulate better products faster. A trained quantum physicist who earned a PhD at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies and studied materials science at Oxford, he turned the math of atomtronic devices toward a more stubborn problem: the slow, trial-and-error grind of laboratory formulation. Quantum Boost's platform applies Bayesian optimization to experimental data, promising to cut formulation development time by 50 to 80 percent across inks, paints, pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals.
