We are a team of scientists and engineers working together to solve the social, economic and environmental issues that we face in the world today.

We use machine learning to optimise some of the most complex systems on earth, including one that contributes to 25% of global emissions - the electricity grid. By using machine learning, we help grid operators to improve planning for generation, flow and use of electricity ahead of real-time operation. All of this helps meet demand, while reducing cost and lowering environmental damage. Catch their talk at JuliaCon!

Founded in 2019, Beacon Biosignals' launch was propelled by the application of contemporary high-performance computing techniques to scale out the analysis of large brainwave datasets. Today, Beacon leverages Julia to interrogate brain function at unprecedented throughput and accelerate the development of new treatments for neurological disease.

Beacon's Platform enables population-level analyses that aggregate insights across hundreds of thousands of clinical EEGs, capturing the wide array of features that characterize the heterogeneity of brain function across a breadth of indications, setting a new data standard for neurobiomarker design. At this scale, traditional manual feature extraction methods become intractable due to cost, inter-rater variability, and the limited availability of trained experts. Beacon overcomes this bottleneck via an ever-growing suite of machine learning models that replicate the consensus interpretation of clinical experts and exceed human capabilities over thousands of hours of biosignal recordings. Our Platform equips customers with the ability to leverage Beacon's scalable brain health analytics throughout the lifecycle of drug discovery, development, and deployment.

Metalenz is commercializing metasurface technology and transforming optical sensing in consumer electronics and automotive markets.
