Project Overview

About this Research

USC Information Sciences Institute is building autonomous science agents that help research teams plan, simulate, and validate high-stakes experiments. The system blends task-decomposed large language models with verified control policies so labs can safely accelerate materials discovery, chip design, and biosafety research. Initial deployments focus on integrating with Department of Energy user facilities and publishing a reproducibility benchmark so other labs can audit agent decisions.
