Navid Anjum Aadit

Navid graduated from OPUS on December, 2025, joining Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher as of January 2026. 

Navid is a PhD Candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (expected Dec 2025). He primarily works on probabilistic computing with p-bits and extreme-scale distributed architectures that connect ideas from statistical physics, machine learning, and quantum-inspired optimization.

Navid's recent work scales probabilistic computers across multi-FPGA systems with delay-tolerant communication and balanced partitioning to sustain solution quality at unprecedented sizes.
