Current Research

I am currently a research assistant in Coordinated Science Laboratory and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
I am currently seeking efficient decoding algorithms for binary linear block codes, in particular, the codes with relatively long length and intermediate rate.
