AbsorbEvo: An Agentic Framework for Autonomous Inverse Design of Microwave Absorbers

AbsorbEvo is an agentic framework that autonomously designs microwave absorbers by translating natural‑language performance goals into full‑wave‑simulated designs. It combines language reasoning, physics‑based prediction, and historical feedback to guide a candidate evolution strategy, using a low‑cost predictive model to rank designs before simulation. In tests on AbsorbBench‑36, AbsorbEvo achieved a 79.17% task success rate, outperforming generic agents and random search.

VortexChat: An agentic framework for autonomous multi-objective integrated photonic design

VortexChat is an agentic framework that autonomously performs end-to-end inverse design of integrated photonic devices from natural language specifications. It combines a large language model decision agent with topology generation, gradient-based refinement, and full-wave electromagnetic simulation in a closed-loop architecture, enabling iterative decomposition of design objectives and minimal human intervention. The system successfully generated devices meeting the Vortex100 Benchmark metrics and fabricated a broadband terahertz perfect vortex beam multiplexer that matched simulation predictions.

OR-Agent: Bridging Evolutionary Search and Structured Research for Automated Heuristic Design

OR-Agent is a multi‑agent research framework that automates heuristic design for optimization problems by structuring heuristic search as a tree‑based workflow with explicit hypothesis generation and systematic backtracking. It introduces a hierarchical, optimization‑inspired reflection system that uses short‑term reflections as verbal gradients, long‑term reflections as verbal momentum, and memory compression as semantic weight decay to guide research dynamics. Experiments on classical combinatorial optimization tasks and simulation‑based cooperative driving scenarios show that OR‑Agent outperforms strong evolutionary search baselines, with all code and data publicly available.
