Our group studies the mathematics of information, broadly construed. What are the fundamental limits of communication and computation systems? How can we achieve them efficiently? To see why this is cool, check out this SMBC comic strip.


Recent interests: synchronization errors; DNA-based data storage; random codes and pseudorandomness; the interplay between coding/information theory and theoretical computer science (in particular, cryptography).


Support: Our research has been supported by FCT and an ERC Starting Grant.
