PhD Students

• Alex Pellegrini, since Oct. 2020, TU/e (co-advised with Tanja Lange).
  

  Alex is working on a project on code-based cryptography. Before joining TU/e he also worked on quorum systems and on Boolean polynomial systems (the latter is the topic of his MSc thesis at University of Trento, Italy). More info can be found on Alex's website.

• Anina Gruica, since May 2020, TU/e.
  

  Anina is currently exploring new connections between coding theory, combinatorics and graph theory. After a MSc thesis on convolutional codes at University of Zurich, Switzerland, she is now focusing on rank-metric codes.

• Giuseppe Cotardo (co-advised with Eimear Byrne), in the period Sept. 2018 -- Dec. 2019 at University College Dublin. I co-advised Giuseppe while a postdoc at UCD, with E. Byrne as my postdoc mentor.
  

  Giuseppe's project at UCD is centered around rank-metric codes, combinatorics and complexity theory. Here's a link to his first paper, connecting rank-metric codes with the theory of zeta functions.

BSc and MSc Students

• Koen A. Pietersen, Oct. 2020 -- present, TU/e.
  

  Koen's project is on the total weight of error-correcting codes in the Hamming and the rank metric. It involves both theoretical and experimental work. Koen is collaborating with both me and Anina, who is of great help with co-supervision.

• Giuseppe Cotardo (co-advised with E. Ballico and E. Byrne), MSc in 2018, University of Trento & University College Dublin.

• I also assisted in the supervision of various other MSc students while a postdoc or PhD candidate.
