Diabatix

I’ve wanted to have a guest on the show to chat about artificial intelligence & machine learning (in relation to CFD) for a while now. It keeps coming up in other discussions, but this is the first founder interview where I get to scratch the surface of this huge topic.

Today I’m talking to Lieven Vervecken one of the founders of Diabatix - a Belgian CFD startup mixing AI/ML with generative design, optimisation & traditional CFD methods to design a new breed of heat sinks.

Lieven fills us in on:

• their PhD-to-Business journey & the importance of early contact with (potential) customers
• how they operate their business, somewhere in between software development house, consultancy & software-as-a-service - taking in the best of all worlds
• what they mean by the terms, generative design & artificial intelligence
• why they’re more than just a fancy optimisation tool

Here’s an example of the kind of designs we’re talking about:
