We are experts in AI and ML. Our ML building blocks are open source to provide transparency and acceptability. They are designed to be deployed at scale in the cloud and on the edge. Our methods and tools are used in our commercial products and in the AI at large. They have been under active development for more than 10 years. In 2021, SmartTensors won two R&D 100 awards.
SmartTensors MADSOur experience includes solving energy, environmental, and earth-science problems in geothermal, geologic reservoir engineering, induced seismicity, carbon sequestration, water management, wildfire, air quality, and climate changes. Our AI products are designed to address these challenges.
ChemML DAPEFrom renewable sources such as geothermal, wind and solar to traditional sources such as oil & gas, we have AI methods and tools to address your project needs. We have developed several AI products to address these challenges related to energy production, storage, and utilization.
GeoTGo GaiaAI PetroAIWe develop science-informed ML methods and software for planning and optimizing geologic engineering projects. Our AI product, GeoML, helps teams characterize and manage subsurface reservoirs. A critical aspect of our work is to address multi-use challenges when the same reservoir is applied to different purposes.
GeoMLWe are working on an exciting new product: UrbanAI. This software will help cities and communities plan for the future by optimizing the designs of their energy infrastructure accounting for climate change impacts.
UrbanAIOur scientists are artists and our artists are scientists.
We pride ourselves on our ability to bring together the best of both worlds to create products that are beautiful and functional, with an understanding of the impact they have on the cultures in which they are used.
Our technology development is led by our co-founder and CTO, Dr. Velimir Vesselinov. He has over 40 years of theoretical and practical experience, including 23 years as a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. He has been the Principal Investigator (PI) of a series of multi-million, multi-institution, and multi-year projects. He has developed more than 20 different software products. One of his AI products recently received 2 R&D100 awards.
Tracy Kliphuis is the other co-founder and CEO of the company. She has over 20 years of experience managing various environmental programs and projects for the State of New Mexico. She is the PI of several of our current projects.
Our company also includes recognized PhD scientists and experts with extensive publication records and internationally recognized expertise.

Watch the StoryProject goal is to facilitate the development of geothermal energy resources in the U.S. and globally with a focus on environmental and energy justice. The project is funded by the DOE's Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO).
Learn MoreWe aim to never lose sight of the fact that our work is intricately connected to people and places.
Our company promotes inclusive and equitable research. For us, it is crucial to develop a company which is diverse, representative, and accessible to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. We aim to engage researchers with different cultural, racial, educational, socioeconomic, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiverse conditions, religious and philosophical beliefs, and life experiences. We work actively with members of underprivileged and underrepresented communities. Our company is a member of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico and Women in Geothermal (WING). Our company credo is "Small Tech, Big Ideas, Diverse Minds: Innovate Together".
Environmental and energy justice are interconnected concepts that focus on fairness in how environmental burdens and benefits are distributed. We are committed to promoting environmental and energy justice. This pursuit requires: (1) Community engagement: Meaningful participation of impacted communities in decision-making processes. (2) Policy solutions: Government policies that address environmental racism, promote clean energy access, and ensure a just transition for all. (3) Public awareness: Raising awareness about these issues and mobilizing support for the proposed solutions. By working towards environmental and energy justice, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
Our company has created a community engagement plan (CEP). Developing a CEP is a comprehensive process involving understanding the needs and preferences of diverse communities, setting clear objectives, and implementing strategies to foster meaningful connections and participation. Community engagement is a perpetual process requiring dedication and flexibility. Building trust and meaningful relationships with communities takes time, so patience and persistence is important. Our CEP has been developed by soliciting input from members and organizations associated with underprivileged and underrepresented communities. We also work actively with Native American Nations and Tribes. We have contacted these groups and engaged them to obtain their feedback. We have also explored their socioeconomic and regulatory needs and challenges. These efforts have helped us develop a CEP tailored to these communities' specific needs. We believe this is important because it ensures that the CEP is relevant and effective for the people using it. Our CEP is a living document regularly updated to address needs and opportunities.
Our company is committed to providing educational, outreach, and business opportunities to underprivileged and underrepresented communities. We are working to develop educational programs and materials that are accessible to a wide range of learners. Our strategies and activities include workshops, webinars, videos, public events and campaigns, brochures, fact sheets, interactive learning, citizen science projects, and educational materials designed to engage and educate diverse audiences. We are building partnerships with minority-serving schools, universities, and community organizations to expand our reach and impact.
Our company develops and maintains both open-source and proprietary software and data. We believe that open-source software and data are essential for the scientific research community. Especially in the field of AI, where this is crucial for the development of new methods and the validation of existing ones. The AI building blocks are open source also to provide transparency and acceptability. Our commercial software is built on top of these open-source building blocks. Demonstrative examples, test cases, and results are available to the public to ensure the reproducibility of our work. We also provide detailed documentation and tutorials to help users understand and apply our software and data.
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of research contributors and collaborators. Our company is working to create a scientific community that is welcoming and inclusive to all, regardless of background or identity. We are actively collaborating with minority-serving institutions and organizations and minority businesses to promote diversity and inclusion.
Our company acknowledges that the place now called Santa Fe, where our office is located, sits on unceded ancestral Tewa Land and is still recognized as O'gha Po'oge, meaning White Shell Water Place. We recognize that this land is just one piece of a larger, boundless terrain for Indigenous peoples that include the Nambe Pueblo, the Tewa, and the Jicarilla Apache. O'gha Po'oge was once a thriving Pueblo village, and their descendants include the modern-day Tewa people who still live in Santa Fe and the nearby Pueblos of Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, and Tesuque. We also recognize the violence, displacement, migration, and colonization that haunt this place. We all are now stewards of this land, responsible for the care of water, air, and each other. Our company pledges to donate a percentage of the profit from our commercial services developed under our R&D projects to a local non-profit organization supporting the education of Native American students.
