Visiting Scientists

Dr. John F. Lindner

John F. Lindner was born in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and educated at the University of Vermont and Caltech. He is an emeritus professor of physics and astronomy at The College of Wooster and a visiting professor at North Carolina State University. He has enjoyed multiple yearlong sabbaticals at Georgia Tech, University of Portland, University of Hawai’i, and NCSU. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics, stochastic resonance, celestial mechanics, variable stars, and neural networks.

Dr. Sudeshna Sinha

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 has been developed commercially by the US-based company Chaologix.

Graduate Student

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, where he has continued 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.

Past Members

Dr. Anil Radhakrishnan

Anil Radhakrishnan earned a BS in Physics from University of Illinois in 2020, where his research included Condensed Matter and High Energy Physics. In 2025 he completed his NCSU Physics PhD with NAIL. He is currently a post-doc at Carnegie Mellon University..

Mr. Matthew Gill

Matthew Gill was 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.

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 NAIL as a returning alumnus of NC State University, graduating in 2018 with a BS in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. In 2023 he completed his Physics PhD and is currently a Data Scientist for Falconwood Inc.

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. After two years as a post-doc with NAIL, he is currently working as a Computational Scientist at The Jackson Laboratory. When he is not doing physics, he likes to play PC games.
