Come work with me on generative models for materials at CuspAI!
We have:
- a fantastic team lead by @wellingmax.bsky.social and @aronwalsh.github.io
- important problems and fun methods
- offices in beautiful Amsterdam, Cambridge, London, Berlin

Due to growth, we are seeking an experienced Applied ML Researcher (Generative Models)* to join our growing team and build SOTA generative models to design new materials at CuspAI.
It was great to work on the ODAC25 paper with the Meta FAIR Chemistry and Georgia Tech. A leap forwards in modelling direct air carbon capture with metal organic frameworks, with much better data and larger models.
Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.03162

Identifying useful sorbent materials for direct air capture (DAC) from humid air remains a challenge. We present the Open DAC 2025 (ODAC25) dataset, a significant expansion and improvement upon ODAC23...
Today at NeurIPS (SD), come meet the @cuspai.bsky.social team and learn about our work!
Find us at 5:30pm at booth 1343 (Renaissance Philanthropy / UK government)
Happy New Year!
Do your plans for 2026 include...
- working with a great team lead by @wellingmax.bsky.social and @aronwalsh.github.io?
- living in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, or Cambridge?
- using fun tools from ML and material science?
- solving important problems?
Then join us at CuspAI!
