Research
Research Area: Finite Fields and Applications, Discrete Mathematics, Algebra and Number Theory
Research Interests: Finite
Fields and Applications in Coding Theory, Communications, and Cryptography; Enumerative and Additive Combinatorics; Additive and Computational Number Theory; In particular,
· Polynomials/functions over finite
fields, for exmaple, irreducible polynomials, permutation polynomials, primitive polynomials, planar functions, Boolean functions, etc.
· Sequences over finite fields, for
example, LFSR and NLFSR sequences, de Bruijn sequences, stream ciphers, pseudoramdom generators, linear complexity, correlations, etc.
· Applications of finite fields in Coding
Theory, Combinatorics, and Cryptography; for example, linear and quantum codes, value sets and list decoding, nonlinearity of functions over finite fields, S-boxes, etc.
