HUNTSVILLE — With strong backing and $500,000 in seed funding from Huntsville defense contractor IERUS Technologies, Nullspace has been launched as a spin-off from IERUS.
Nullspace, headquartered in Irvine, Calif., focuses on delivering advanced engineering software for electromagnetics applications.
Co-founders Dr. Jason Keen, Dr. Daniel Faircloth, and Dr. Masha V. Petrova hold Ph.Ds in electromagnetics and aerospace engineering. They also have more than a decade of commercial and executive leadership experience.
The company is offering three commercial products:
- Nullspace 3D EM – the company’s flagship product. It is an electromagnet simulation solver designed for solving large optimization problems for defense, aerospace, automotive, and communications applications. It boasts proprietary fast linear algebra algorithms and multi-CPU and multi-GPU acceleration capability, making the software ideal for simulating and solving electrically large, complex problems over 25x faster than available solutions – without sacrificing accuracy.
- Nullspace Prep – a CAD and meshing pre-processor that integrates with Nullspace EM and Nullspace ES.
- Nullspace ES – the world’s only commercial electrostatic solver for extremely large-scale design and analysis in quantum computing. Nullspace ES helps with the accurate design and analysis of structures that support modern quantum computers and particle accelerators.
“The proprietary solvers for Nullspace EM have been rigorously tested on real-world antenna, microwave, and scattering problems for the last 12 years,” said Keen, CEO of IERUS. “With this spin-off, we are excited to bring this powerful simulation technology to the commercial market for antenna and radar design applications.”
Faircloth, Nullspace chief technical officer, said he began to develop Nullspace at IERUS because he was unsatisfied with the EM tools available on the market.
“Our customers did not ask us to develop software,” he said. “They asked us to create next generation RF technologies to solve their most challenging problems.
“After 12 years of developing a tool to help deliver those cutting-edge RF products for the US military, Nullspace was born.”
Petrova, Nullspace’s CEO, was recruited by IERUS and joined as the Nullspace co-founder after an extensive CEO search.
“Unlike present day solutions, the Nullspace solver architecture was developed from the ground-up to scale across multiple cores, which makes it ideal for design optimization, uncertainty analysis, and SaaS applications where engineers need flexibility,” Petrova said. “Our product roadmap includes expanding to the cloud and adding proprietary AI technology to automate EM device design in a way that is not on the market today.”
Nullspace will be showcasing its technology at the International Microwave Symposium on June 13-15 in San Diego, June 13-15.
