I came across the new Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague Starting Grant 2026 today, and it looked like one of the more credible early-career principal investigator (PI) “launch your own group” schemes I’ve seen from a European university. The basic offer is strong. The grant funds up to three years, with up to CZK [...]

Happy to announce that I’ve taken a meaningful step toward bridging the gap between AI and circuit/device modeling. It is my absolute pleasure to introduce Ψ-HDL (pronounced Psi-HDL), my Physics Structure-Informed Hardware Description Language framework. This work builds directly on the Ψ-NN (Physics structure-informed neural network) discovery framework introduced by Liu et al. (Nature Communications, [...]

My research paper „A Physics-Regularized Neural Surrogate Framework for Printed Memristors“ was published today in the IEEE Access journal (IF: 3.6). I had the idea for this paper initially while working on the „Print the Brain“ project at TU Chemnitz in 2024, and thought about it in my free time while at ERCEA in Brussels [...]

I just bought a recently published book on Amazon titled Romania after 1989: The Diary of a People in the Shadow of Democracy, and I wanted to share it with you. A few months ago I wrote about Scott Horton and how official narratives can be maintained through repetition, incentives, and selective memory. The same [...]

After I wrote this post earlier this year, today, I want to share with you all another interesting webinar. I know a significant shift when I see one. The new ERC Plus grant is exactly that. I will call it ERC+ below. This isn’t just another funding line; it’s the ERC’s answer to a question from [...]

Every so often, a paper comes along that feels like it bridges two worlds that have been talking past each other. Recently, I came across one of those papers: “Automatic network structure discovery of physics informed neural networks via knowledge distillation” by Ziti Liu and colleagues. It’s an ambitious piece of work that tries to [...]

I recently came across a talk by Emilia Casper, called “Breaking the Wall of Blind Obedience.” I resonate and completely agree with her message, and I encourage everyone to support her work and buy her book „Just Following Orders: Atrocities and the Brain Science of Obedience„. It feels crucial right now, in a time when [...]

In December 2024, I wrote here about which laptop I recommend for most people to buy (spoiler: the Macbook Air M4 or the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14). I’ve been watching the MacBook Air M4 listings on Amazon.de this past month because I was considering buying one. In September, many of them sat at around 869 [...]

I want to share with you a video that struck me on a deep level. It is a conversation with Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, who has built not only one of the world’s most widely used communication platforms but also a philosophy of life centered on freedom, discipline, and integrity. Listening to him [...]
