POSTDIGITAL Plus Doctoral Network

This week marked the official kick-off of the POSTDIGITAL+! It was fantastic to bring together our brilliant partners to connect, share ideas, and set the course for what promises to be a really exciting journey.

POSTDIGITAL+ at the International Workshop Machine Learning Meets Photonics, hosted by Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies🔦 We're proud to see so many POSTDIGITAL+ partners! #POSTDIGITALplus #Photonics #MachineLearning #NeuromorphicComputing #AI

This week we are hosting International Workshop: Machine Learning Meets Photonics, bringing together world-leading experts in machine learning,  AI/ML applications in telecom and neuromorphic computing. Thanks to all amazing speakers of the first day

This week, the POST DIGITAL+ consortium is at Aston University for the International AiPT Workshop: Machine Learning Meets Photonics, co-organised by POSTDIGITAL+. Looking forward to our beneficiaries' and partners' talks @AstonPhotonics
