Founders

Built by the people who write the math.

Mathilde is engineered, not pitched. Every line of the inversion pipeline — from the JAX forward model to the mascon parameterization to the EKF over inter-satellite ranges — comes from the same hand.

Aviv Elbag

Bringing small-body gravimetry from a Stanford research direction into a working orbital instrument.

Aviv studied Satellite Systems and Computer Science at Stanford. His coursework — small-satellite gravimetry, spacecraft simulation, dynamical systems, physics-based machine learning — is the exact toolkit Mathilde is built on.

He has spent the last several years at Google, working from Santa Barbara, Mountain View, Redmond, and Oslo. He is now building Mathilde to take small-body interior recovery from a research direction into a working orbital instrument.

He speaks English, Hebrew, and Norwegian — and writes most of the math himself.

Want to talk to us?

We're raising. We're hiring (carefully). And we always want to talk shop with anyone working on small-body dynamics, inter-satellite ranging, or Bayesian inversion.
