The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a Starting Grant to Antonia Wachter-Zeh. Her project inCREASE (Coding for Security and DNA Storage) deals with protecting data from unauthorized access and errors. For example, advances in quantum computers could mean that current encryption methods may soon be insecure. Prof. Wachter-Zeh is working on new encryption methods using algebraic codes that could help to block this threat. A second application of her research is storing data efficiently… [weiterlesen]

Former TUM-LNT Postdoc Mansoor Yousefi and TUM Ambassador Frank Kschischang have won the 2018 IEEE Information Theory Society (ITSoc) Paper Award for their three-part paper on "Information Transmission using the nonlinear Fourier Transform (NFT)," published in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory in July 2014. The ITSoc Paper Award is given annually for an outstanding publication in the fields of interest to ITSoc appearing anywhere during the preceding four calendar years. The goal of… [weiterlesen]
