Join us on the UC Davis campus to hear Manmit Shrimali discuss how AI is helping unlock new food formulations to expedite product development.

Demystifying AI for Food

Featuring Manmit Shrimali, Co-Founder and CEO of Turing Labs, Inc.

WHAT: Free 1-hour talk by Manmit Shrimali, followed by 1-hour tech platform demo

WHEN: Tuesday, December 9, 2025, 12:00-1:00 PM and 1:30-2:30 PM

WHERE: Physical and Data Sciences Building (PDSB) at UC Davis

REMOTE: Online via Zoom

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This event is open to all, whether you are a part of the university community, industry, government, or the public. Learn how AI can be employed to create healthier and more sustainable foods.

TECH DEMO: The tech platform demo is geared towards food science students and those with an interest in R&D for food product development. All are welcome to attend.

Join the AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) on the UC Davis campus for a seminar exploring how AI is transforming research and development in food product formulation.

The talk will include:

1. State of R&D in 2026
2. Evolution of product development in R&D
3. Why and when to use AI in R&D?
4. A few lessons learned on implementing AI at scale

Manmit's passion lies in fusing art and science — AI with human interaction to help organizations accelerate change management and drive adoption of tools that amplify R&D rather than replacing existing systems.

Turing Labs is a $20M+ AI platform company in Silicon Valley backed by Y Combinator. Manmit has shared learnings on R&D transformation across the formulation industry. He holds 5 patents and has purpose-built Turing's AI platform to amplify R&D expertise for organizations such as Kraft, Unilever, Mondelez, and several others.

Food Science Technical Demo: AI Platform Demo for Food Formulation

Following the Speaker Series, Manmit Shrimali will provide a technical demonstration of the Turing AI platform used in food formulation. Whether you're studying food science or another domain, this is a unique opportunity to see how new technologies function when applied in real-world applications.

Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees.

This event is available in hybrid format to attend in person or online.
