Research & Labs

Pushing the boundaries of privacy-first AI and applied natural science.

Research Tracks

Four interconnected areas of research driving our product development and scientific contribution.

Applied AI

Practical machine learning systems for real-world deployment. Focus on reliability, interpretability, and production-readiness.

  • Clinical NLP and medical language understanding
  • Computer vision for privacy-preserving analytics
  • On-device inference optimization
  • Multi-modal AI systems

Natural Science R&D

Computational approaches to natural science problems. Bridging traditional research with modern AI capabilities.

  • Computational biology and drug discovery
  • Environmental modeling and prediction
  • Scientific data analysis pipelines
  • Lab automation and experiment design

Privacy & Security

Building systems where privacy isn’t a feature—it’s the architecture. Zero-trust, zero-knowledge, full sovereignty.

  • Differential privacy implementations
  • Federated learning frameworks
  • Zero-knowledge proof systems
  • Secure multi-party computation

Edge & Offline AI

AI that works without the cloud. Optimized models for resource-constrained devices and disconnected environments.

  • Model compression and quantization
  • Neural architecture search for edge
  • Offline-first system design
  • Battery-efficient inference

Open Problems

Challenges we’re actively working on—and open to collaborating on.

Low-Resource Language Clinical NLP

Building effective clinical NLP models for Indian languages with limited training data.

Real-Time Privacy-Preserving Video Analytics

Processing video streams for engagement detection without any identifiable information leaving the device.

Federated Learning in Heterogeneous Healthcare Systems

Training models across hospitals with vastly different data formats and infrastructure.

Interested in Collaborating?

We’re always looking for researchers, institutions, and organizations to work with on these challenges.
