Unmeasured, no intelligence. Untried, no tool.

From sparks to stars. We work on intelligent measurement and evaluation, computational genomics, and AI agent tooling. Our results and code are public.

Who we are

Nova Ignis is a small research team working across two things: research that demands rigor, and code that demands stability. Research needs tooling, and tooling needs research scrutiny—giving nascent ideas the space and warmth to grow.
