Akash Ramdas is Co-Founder and CEO of Matforge, a Y Combinator-backed AI company building autonomous AI scientists to discover next-generation materials for the semiconductor industry.
Akash completed his MS, PhD, and postdoc in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, and previously gained industry experience at The ePlane Company and Procter and Gamble.
His doctoral research on novel nanoscale interconnect materials garnered widespread recognition, with his discoveries adopted into the technology roadmaps of both Intel and TSMC.
Akash co-founded Matforge alongside Advaith Sridhar after completing his Stanford postdoc, and the team was accepted into Y Combinator, bringing together deep materials science and cutting-edge AI expertise.
Matforge is compressing material discovery timelines from over a decade of lab work to just months using a swarm of AI agents, directly addressing the exponential growth in AI chip power demands.
