How It All Started
PhaseTree was born out of our own challenges and frustrations as researchers. As scientists and engineers ourselves, we experienced firsthand the steep barriers to entry in the field of materials design. Even with our expertise, existing tools were cumbersome and slowed down our progress.
Motivated by these challenges, we set out to create a solution that would simply democratize materials design. Our passion led to the creation of PhaseTree - a user-friendly platform designed to break down barriers and accelerate discovery, making the progress intuitive and accessible for all researchers
