We are organized through a Board of Directors and a Steering Committee spanning industry, academia, and systems leadership across persistent agent systems, routing, memory, and infrastructure.
This structure connects research direction, technical execution, and long-term stewardship of public systems.
Board of Directors
The board brings together industry builders and academic researchers guiding the lab's long-term direction across persistent agent systems, routing, memory, and infrastructure.
