About ECL

The research in the Error Correction Laboratory is in the general area of information theory, more specifically in channel coding, or error correction coding theory. Our specialty is so-called modern coding theory and includes low-density parity check codes and iterative decoding algorithms. We design and analyze classical and quantum codes and decoders for both communications and computing systems.
