Research

Interests = Information theory / coding theory / Shannon theory: Random coding and polar coding over communication channels; Distributed storage and distributed computation, application of algebra and combinatorics to.

For meta-comments of my works categorized by topics, see:

I have once computed, on a supercomputer, the Tutte–Whitney polynomials of Reed–Muller codes of length 64. This GitHub repository keeps the source codes, comments, and results.

Publications

Multilinear Algebra for Distributed Storage is to appear in SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry.

Log-logarithmic Time Pruned Polar Coding is in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, March 2021.

Polar Codes’ Simplicity, Random Codes’ Durability is in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, March 2021.
