About SciLoop

Meet the team revolutionizing scientific research with AI

Our Mission

At SciLoop, we believe that groundbreaking research shouldn't be limited by time constraints, resource or time availability, or the complexity of the research process. Our mission is to democratize scientific discovery by providing researchers with an AI-powered assistant that can transform a simple idea into a complete, publication-ready research paper.

As MIT students ourselves, we've experienced firsthand the challenges of conducting research—the long hours, the iterative process, and the complexity of turning ideas into rigorous scientific work. SciLoop is our solution to these challenges, designed by researchers, for researchers.

Meet the Founders

Two MIT students with a shared vision for the future of scientific research

Bilal Asmatullah

Co-Founder & CEO

MIT Junior, Course 6-4 (Artificial Intelligence & Decision Making)

Background

Bilal is an AI researcher at MIT specializing in artificial intelligence and decision making systems. He's a bronze medalist from the International Physics Olympiad 2022 and has research experience at MIT CSAIL working on bioimpedance data analysis and blood pressure prediction using CNN and Transformer architectures. He has extensive experience building AI workflows and multi-agent systems.

Vision

"The future of research lies in the symbiosis between human creativity and AI capabilities. SciLoop represents that perfect balance—empowering researchers while maintaining the human element that drives true innovation."

Osman Siddique

Co-Founder & CTO

MIT Junior, Course 6-3 (Computer Science & Engineering)

Background

Osman is a computer science student at MIT with expertise in machine learning and systems design. He's a bronze medalist from the International Physics Olympiad 2022 and has research experience at MIT CSAIL. Founded a donation He's built several ML applications including protein structure prediction tools and distributed storage systems, with experience in large-scale data processing and model deployment.

Vision

"SciLoop is our attempt to make cutting-edge research accessible to every curious mind, regardless of their resources or institutional affiliations. AI has the potential to accelerate scientific progress in ways we've never seen before. Think of all the scientific breakthroughs in the past century: that could be done in the next 5 years."

Our Journey

From idea to impact

The Meeting

Osman and Bilal met in June 2022 while preparing to represent Pakistan at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO 2022). Both ended up winning bronze medals for Pakistan. Their shared experience in competitive physics laid the foundation for their collaboration.

MIT Journey

In 2023, Bilal became the only Pakistani student admitted to MIT. A year later, Osman similarly became the only Pakistani student admitted to transfer to MIT in 2024. At MIT, both pursued their passion for AI and research, gaining hands-on experience in their respective labs.

The Problem Discovery

While conducting research at MIT, they experienced firsthand the pain points of the research process. Using tools like Cursor still required manually running files, checking results, and feeding them back - a slow, repetitive cycle that limited research productivity.

Building SciLoop

Recognizing that frontier AI models are capable of research but lack autonomy and secure computing environments, they began building SciLoop. Their goal: create an end-to-end AI system that automates the research loop from hypothesis to code to results to paper.

Launch Preparation

They've refined their first version for researchers and are working with MIT labs for feedback. With plans to launch on August 24th, they're preparing to revolutionize how research is conducted with AI-powered automation and secure computing environments.
