Role Description:

PhD Candidate

• Algebra

• Algebraic Coding Theory

• Quantum Error Correction

• Cryptography and Information Theory

• Applied Algebra in Communication and Quantum Systems

Our research aims to explore applicable algebra, particularly, algebraic structures (groups, rings, fields, etc) that lead to efficient error-correcting codes for classical and quantum communication systems. Candidates will have opportunities to work on the construction and analysis of novel code families, algebraic techniques for secure communication, and applications of non-commutative algebra in quantum error correction.
