Polaron is a spin‑out from Imperial College London , founded by Dr Isaac Squires, Dr Steve Kench, and Dr Sam Cooper.

The founders share a mission: to harness engineering, artificial intelligence, and materials science to design the materials of the future.

Our vision is to become the world leader at the interface between AI and materials , combining scientific rigour with engineering pragmatism to enable the next generation of sustainable, high-performance materials .

Our work isn’t just about hard scientific problems. It is about the urgency and impact of solving them. Advanced materials underpin all aspects of modern life, from the batteries that power electric vehicles to the alloys used in turbines and the composites that make aircraft lighter.

Accelerating how these materials are developed, designed, and manufactured has a direct impact on the world’s ability to build a more sustainable future.

We’re buildi...
