Mat3ra operates a cloud-based platform designed for materials scientists and chemists to model new compounds and run physics-based simulations without managing underlying computational infrastructure. The platform consolidates simulation tools and data into a searchable environment where users can build AI and machine learning models, organise work, and collaborate across teams.
Founded in 2014 by Timur Bazhirov, a UC Berkeley physics Ph.D., Mat3ra serves customers globally across semiconductors, chemicals, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, academia, and government research. The company works with Global 2000 companies, government institutions, and universities, positioning its product as an accessible alternative to fragmented, complex computational workflows.
The platform addresses a specific workflow problem: scientists typically juggle multiple disconnected tools and data repositories. Mat3ra consolidates these into a single interface, aiming to accelerate the prototyping cycle for new compounds and materials while reducing time-to-market for customers in capital-intensive industries.
