Two ORganizations,

One Mission

First-Principles Quantum Design (FPQD)

Product company (SBIR applicant) delivering advanced visualization, analysis, and guided workflows for chargedensitydriven design.

First-Principles Materials Design and Software (FPMDS): 501(c)(3)

Providing open tools, training, and community resources for researchers and educators.

First-Principles QUantum Design

Put charge‑density awareness at the center of materials development, by making electronic‑structure insights as tangible as stress‑strain curves or TTT diagrams.

Our Vision

  • A visual analytics environment that layers bond‑bundle/DGB metrics over familiar 3D geometry.

  • A guided workflow that starts from your DFT or experimental density and ends with actionable recommendations.

  • Integrations with common simulation and visualization stacks.

What We’re Building

First-Principles Materials Design & Software

A U.S. 501(c)(3) non‑profit.

Purpose

Open, validated, first‑principles tools for the community; educator support; equitable access.

How It Relates to FPQD

Open, validated, first‑principles tools for the community; educator support; equitable access.

  • Plug‑and‑play modules to introduce materials design with charge‑density thinking.

  • Lab exercises and worksheets aligned with upper‑division/graduate curricula.

  • Opportunities for student projects and capstones using open tools.
