Thanks for the input! Conferences are definitely on my radar (like the ASME or MRS fall meetings). However, as a solo, bootstrapped software founder, the 6-12 month peer-review cycle for publishing an article on my own is a bit too slow for my runway. That’s exactly why I'm hoping to partner with an existing lab—I bring the fast-moving AI architecture, and they bring the publishing pedigree and physics validation. Have you seen any founders successfully bridge that gap without having to spend a year writing papers first?
