Error-correcting codes are an essential tool for reliable and fast transmission of information in any modern communication system.
We concentrate our research effort on the
-
construction and analysis of good codes
-
design and analysis of low complexity encoding and decoding algorithms
-
application of coding theory in cryptography
Applications
Error-correcting codes are used in numerous services and applications such as
-
satellite communication
-
DVD players/blu-ray
-
mobile communication
Besides, we address numerous mathematical problems in this field utilising algebraic, geometric and combinatorial methods.
