Pasteur Labs & ISI
Pasteur Labs & ISI is a New York-based public-benefit deep-tech company building 'Simulation Intelligence' - the systematic merger of AI, physics simulation, and scientific computing. Its AI-native, GPU-accelerated, end-to-end differentiable physics platform gives engineers and scientists an in-silico playground to run thousands of what-if scenarios and shrink the gap between digital models and physical reality. Founded in 2021 by AI researcher Alexander Lavin and staffed by veterans of DeepMind, NASA, CERN, Tesla, Nvidia and Ansys, the company targets industrial R&D, energy, climate, and space & defense, and stewards the open-source Tesseract framework for differentiable scientific computing.
Alexander Lavin
Alexander Lavin is an AI researcher and former rocket scientist who founded Pasteur Labs and the Institute for Simulation Intelligence (ISI) in New York. He is building what he calls 'the IDE for reality' - simulation engines fused with AI that let scientists and engineers run experiments in software before touching the physical world. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and lead author of the landmark 'Simulation Intelligence' paper, Lavin's path runs from lunar rovers and Blue Origin rocket structures through Numenta, Vicarious, and a probabilistic-medicine startup acquired by Johnson & Johnson, to a focused-research mission aimed at Nobel-Turing breakthroughs in energy, climate, and fusion.
