On 4 February, ECRI hosted our inaugural guest lecture with Professor Sir Bashir M. Al Hashimi CBE, who delivered a thought-provoking talk on The Role of Humans in Scientific Discovery in the Age of LLMs.

Highlight #6 of my trip: Chairing the machine learning session at #FPGA2026, including Hoang et al. taking a new direction in LUT-based NNs. To read more about these networks see the early papers LUTNet and LogicNets, then PolyLUT and NeuraLUT and this new work Kanelé.

Highlight #5 of my trip - my first (and second) @waymo.bsky.social rides. Mark Shand from Waymo and I have discussed their technology in some depth in the past but I was not really expecting just how much it felt like being part of my childhood sci-fi inspired dreams.

Highlight #4 of my trip: CAS (& its predecessor, InfoEng) research group @imperialeee.bsky.social Bay Area alumni gathering

Highlight #3 of my trip. My visit to @nvidia's stunningly beautiful HQ and learning about their current applied deep learning activity.

AI and EdTech: MPs launch new inquiry examining technology’s role in education - Committees - UK Parliament MPs will examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and EdTech in education, in a new inquiry launched today. 

Super important inquiry launched by the Education Select Committee on AI and EdTech. Read more here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/20...

Highlight #2 of my trip: spending time with @mwillsey.com and Russel Arbore at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social

Playing 20 questions with my family and I ask the question "is it no larger than a maximal horse". Queue hilarity. Apparently this is not a normal question.

Highlight #1 of my trip: reconnecting with @satnam6502.bsky.social and learning about harmonic.fun

California / FPGA 2026 This month I took a trip to California for the FPGA 2026 conference, together with my two new PhD students Ben Zhang and Bardia Zadeh, which I combined with a number of visits in the San Francisco …

I had a really productive visit to California this month to visit companies and attend FPGA 2026. More details in my blog post.

St. John's College Cambridge at dawn, crossing the Bridge of Sighs. Back from a great meeting of Aaron Zhao's ARIA project meeting, kindly hosted by Rob Mullins.

Last week I got to 5 days with these wonderful folk at Dagstuhl talking Program Optimization with E-Graphs. My whirring ever since with new ideas and perspectives. Kudos to my fellow organisers, Willsey, Fallin and Steuwer and to all the participants for their open and active participation.

Yesterday I gave an invited talk at @uwaterloo.ca (at the invitation of Nachiket Kapre) on digit slicing, exploring the fundamental question of which operand digits we need to know to compute a digit of a result. Picture is me and Milos Ercegovac, father of online arithmetic.

✨#Philosophy really can change minds. ✨To mark #WorldPhilosophyDay, here's a reminder of what a difference it can make.

As our Chair, @lucyobrien.bsky.social, puts it:

“Philosophy teaches skills integral to cultivating social values and conduct. It changes people's minds.”

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch to celebrate the completion of Martin Langhammer's PhD. With John Wickerson, Christos Savvas Bouganis, Wayne Luk, Peter Cheung and of course the star of the show, Martin Langhammer.

Is your PhD supervisor neurodivergent? Recently, some colleagues and I released a paper about the experiences of neurodivergent PhD students. It’s a systematic review of the literature to date, which is currently under review, but…

I recognise these archetypes! Interesting blog from Inger Mewburn. Thanks to Magdalena Jara for pointing it out!
