Summary
Gabe Gomes is a research scientist who builds AI systems that reason about, design, and execute real-world experiments at the intersection of machine learning and the physical sciences. Currently on leave from his assistant professorship at Carnegie Mellon University, he leads work on integrating foundation models into chemistry and engineering to enable autonomous experimentation on automated and cloud labs. His group’s publications in top journals reflect advances in autonomous science, AI-driven molecular design, catalysis, robotics, and conversational interfaces that democratize access to advanced scientific tools. Now at X, The Moonshot Factory, he applies those capabilities to high-impact, real-world problems while advising governments and international organizations on AI for science. He co-founded e^vals, a consultancy focused on scientific evaluations of foundation models, signaling a rare blend of deep domain science, ML expertise, and practical evaluation rigor. Fluent in both lab and algorithmic worlds, Gabe combines 8+ years of research experience with a track record of deploying intelligent agents that close the loop from hypothesis to experiment.
