Dipak K. Bhunia
Postdoc Researcher,
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Spain
Welcome to my homepage!
I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Combinatorics, Coding, and Security Group (CCSG) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Spain, until May 2025. My research focuses on the mathematical foundations of communication theory, particularly Algebraic Coding Theory, Quantum Error-Correcting Codes, and Code-Based Cryptography.
