Meet the Researchers Shaping the Future of Computing

16 doctoral candidates. An international network of academic and industrial partners. One shared ambition: to advance the next generation of photonic and neuromorphic computing technologies.What will the future of computing look like?Across Europe, POSTDIGITAL+ doctoral candidates are exploring new approaches to computing that could make information processing faster, more efficient and better suited to the growing demands of artificial intelligence.Their projects span photonic neural networks, optical computing, neuromorphic systems, reservoir computing, integrated photonics, new learning algorithms and industrial applications.But POSTDIGITAL+ is also about the researchers behind these technologies.Through the Research Spotlight Series, we introduce our doctoral candidates, their research challenges, international secondments, collaborations and ambitions for the future.
