Jonathan Godwin
Orbital IndustriesCo-founder & CEO
Godwin builds AI that can simulate how materials behave before they are made in a lab. At DeepMind he co-authored work on learning to simulate complex physics.[1] He co-founded Orbital, whose open-source Orb models simulate how atoms interact[2] and support work on materials and hardware for AI data centers.
