Sudeshna Sinha is a professor at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Mohali. She was at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, for over a decade. She works in the field of nonlinear physics. Her work on chaos computing is being developed commercially by the US-based company Chaologix.
Graduate Students
Mr. Anil Radhakrishnan
Anil Radhakrishnan got his BS in Physics from University of Illinois. He is currently in the Physics Ph.D. program. He has prior experience in Condensed Matter and High Energy Physics. His current focus is on the the interplay of nonlinear dynamics and deep learning.
Undergraduate Students
Mr. Mikael (Miko) Gallego
Mikael (Miko) Gallego received a B.S. in Physics and B.S. in Mathematics from NCSU in 2024. He is currently pursuing a Master’s in Physics at Université de Bordeaux, France. He continues his undergraduate research on disorder taming chaos in coupled pendulum arrays. Although his current studies revolve around nonlinear optics, he greatly enjoys his work with the lab in chaotic dynamics. He also really likes using NC State’s computing cluster, Hazel.
Mr. Matthew Gill
Matthew Gill is an undergraduate at NC State University studying Physics and Computer Science. He is passionate about exploring the ways machine learning and computational models can uncover hidden patterns in nature.
Past Members
Dr. Anshul Choudhary
Anshul Choudhary was born and raised in New Delhi, India. He obtained his bachelor of engineering in automation and robotics and had a brief stint in industry before eventually pursuing his passion for physics. He is currently working as a Computational Scientist at The Jackson Laboratory. When he is not doing physics, he likes to play PC games.
Mr. Scott Miller
As a Visiting Scientist, Scott Miller brought an old-school coder sensibility to the NAIL team. He’s one of those supernerds who taught himself computer programming in middle school and never looked back. His 30-year career spans a BS in CS from VA Tech, and software and database engineering for various defense contractors, dotcoms, and financial companies. He is a data architect for a bank in Jersey City, NJ.
Dr. Elliott Holliday
A native of Durham, NC, Elliott Holliday joined us as a returning alumnus of NC State University, graduating with a BS in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. He is a graduate of Physics PhD program and now works as a staff scientist at Applied Research Associates (ARA) in Raleigh.
