TIME magazine has named Cusp co-founder and CEO Chad Edwards to the TIME100 AI list, which recognises the 100 most influential leaders shaping artificial intelligence today. His inclusion reflects what he's built in a little over two years. Chad has turned his belief that AI can be applied to next-gen materials discovery into a global company that works in partnership with leading organisations and research teams. This is a win for the whole team, too - we’ve come a long way from the early calls between Chad in Cambridge and co-founder Max Welling in Amsterdam in 2024 when they discovered they shared the same dream. Read more below - and if working on these hard challenges sounds like your cup of tea, we’re hiring… #TIME100AI

Huge Congratulations Chad Edwards! Very well deserved! ❤️
Materials discovery is a strong example of AI creating value beyond the interface layer. The credible story is the full path from model suggestion to lab validation, failed experiments, and a material someone can manufacture.
AMD is honored to be working with CuspAI, the leading AI for Science lab in Europe, driven by visionary leaders, Chad Edwards, Max Welling and Markus Hoffmann
