Earlier this October, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming Prof. Nikhil Shukla from the University of Virginia to our NanoComputing Lab at TU/e. Prof. Shukla is renowned for his groundbreaking work in both mathematical modeling and circuit design for coupled oscillators, exploring their computational capabilities in various combinatorial optimisation problems. We engaged in in-depth, insightful, and dynamic discussions, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.
