Welcome to my homepage! I am a professor of mathematics and chair of Mathematical Communication Theory at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. My research interests are in discrete mathematics, with a focus on the applications of combinatorics and algebra to information and communications technology (ICT). Buzzwords for my research include:

• coding theory: error-correcting codes and their properties;
• network information theory: network coding, adversarial networks;
• combinatorics: poset theory, enumerative combinatorics, and their applications;
• optimization for data storage and recovery;
• quantum error correction;
• code-based (post-quantum) cryptography.

In April 2022 I was appointed on the Complaints Committee for Undesirable Behavior of TU/e.

News!

• I am co-organizing a workshop on the interplay between data communication and combinatorics; see here.
• PhD student positions available in the framework of the ENCODE consortium; see here. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in doing a PhD in coding theory at TU/e.
