Niamh Gavin

Niamh is an AI Research Scientist based in Silicon Valley. As a researcher and early access partner, she helped launch multimodal foundation models from OpenAI and DeepMind and open LLMs from Meta-Llama and Mistral. Alongside, Niamh is a trusted advisor to governments, think-tanks and international agencies on emergent technologies.
‍

Her background is building closed-loop AI which shrinks the Sim2Real gap and accelerates scientific discovery. These include, multiscale simulation of dynamical systems for SynBio, mechanistic mapping of reaction pathways for Pharma and ab-initio optimisation of catalysts for Industrial Chemistry. Prior she leveraged biomimicry for open-ended search (evolutionary compute), robotic swarms (collective adaptive intel) and photosynthetic solar cells.
