M:3L Lab

M:3L research

Agentic AI

M:3L develops autonomous, tool-using single-agent and multi-agent AI systems for scientific, engineering, and enterprise workflows.

Overview

The laboratory combines large language models with retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, persistent memory, and tools exposed through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and APIs. These systems support grounded investigation, enterprise automation, and orchestration of simulation and optimization workflows.

Engineering and scientific agents are a central direction. M:3L studies workflows in which agents can coordinate CAD or CAE tools, numerical simulation, finite element models, optimization routines, model validation, and iterative design while retaining explicit feedback and verification steps.

M:3L also partners with hackathon.ngo on BitGn PAC, a global challenge focused on autonomous and trustworthy AI agents with safety, reliability, and trust at the core.

Demonstrated M:3L research

  • A foundational event-embedding and Semantic Vector MCP project for time-sensitive retrieval, agent memory, and conversational investigation.
  • Partnership on BitGn PAC, a global challenge for autonomous and trustworthy AI agents.

Technical capabilities

  • Single-agent and multi-agent orchestration
  • Retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search
  • Agent memory for time-sensitive investigation
  • MCP and API tool integration
  • Simulation and optimization-loop orchestration
  • Validation and programmatic feedback loops
  • Long-running research and engineering workflows

Agentic Engineering

M:3L treats agentic engineering as the orchestration of specialized tools and models rather than as a text-only assistant. A workflow may connect CAD and CAE systems, numerical or FEM simulation, optimization algorithms, engineering constraints, and model-validation steps.

This is an active convergence of the laboratory's capabilities. It should not be interpreted as a claim that every component is already deployed as one finished production platform.

  • CAD and parametric geometry tools
  • CAE, numerical simulation, and FEM
  • Optimization and inverse-design loops
  • Model validation and programmatic feedback
  • Iterative design with human or automated review

Research directions

  • Agents that orchestrate CAD, CAE, simulation, optimization, and validation tools
  • Autonomous scientific investigation with grounded retrieval and persistent memory
  • Reliable multi-agent systems with explicit feedback and verification
  • Enterprise workflow automation using MCP servers and APIs

Potential applications

  • Research automation
  • Engineering design iteration
  • Simulation campaign orchestration
  • Optimization workflows
  • Enterprise process automation

These are relevant application domains, not claims that every application is deployed.

Connected research

  • CAD Intelligence: M:3L develops multimodal systems that reconstruct structured, editable, executable engineering representations from point clouds, multi-view images, and text.
  • Differentiable Finite Element Methods: M:3L uses differentiable finite element methods to connect mechanics simulation with gradient-based optimization and machine learning.
  • Event Sequence and Temporal Models: M:3L develops value-grounded event representations that encode what happened, when it happened, and which outcome followed.

Enhancing Event-Sequence Embeddings for RAG Systems

M:3L is developing a foundational event-embedding model that jointly captures event meaning, temporal progression, and outcome/value signals. The work targets time-sensitive retrieval and agent memory across domains, supporting anomaly and churn detection, next-action and value prediction, causal and counterfactual analysis, and grounded conversational investigation through a Semantic Vector MCP. This work was conducted within the scope of the Faculty Research Funding Program 2025 of the Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF).
