Nullspace, Inc. was launched as a spin-off from IERUS Technologies, an established defense contractor in Huntsville, Alabama. The company focuses on delivering advanced engineering software for electromagnetics applications.
With strong backing from IERUS and initial seed funding of $500,000, Nullspace, headquartered in Irvine, California, is off to a strong start. The three co-founders all hold PhDs in electromagnetics and aerospace engineering, and all have 10+ years of commercial and executive leadership experience.
“The proprietary solvers for Nullspace EM have been rigorously tested on real-world antenna, microwave and scattering problems for the last 12 years,” said Dr. Jason Keen, CEO of IERUS Technologies and Nullspace co-founder. “With this spin-off, we are excited to bring this powerful simulation technology to
the commercial market for antenna and radar design applications.”
The company’s flagship product, Nullspace EM, boasts proprietary fast linear algebra algorithms and multi-CPU and multi-GPU acceleration capability — making this software ideal for solving electrically large, complex problems over 25 times faster than available solutions — without sacrificing accuracy.
Dr. Daniel Faircloth, Nullspace’s chief technical officer and co-founder, originally began to develop Nullspace at IERUS because he was unsatisfied with the EM tools available on the market. Dr. Faircloth and his engineering team needed more power and flexibility from their simulation tools, in order to design complex electromagnetic devices for defense and aerospace.
The company is currently offering three products commercially: Nullspace EM — an EM simulation solver designed for solving large optimization problems for defense, aerospace, automotive and communications applications; Nullspace Prep — CAD and meshing pre-processor that integrates with Nullspace EM; as well as Nullspace ES — the world’s only commercial electrostatic solver for extremely large scale design and analysis in quantum computing.
"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," said Dr. Masha V. Petrova, CEO of Nullspace. "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."
