Algebraic curves over finite fields and their applications:


My main research interests concern Galois Geometries, their applications to Coding Theory and Cryptography, and their interactions with Algebraic Curves over Finite Fields.


  • Algebraic function fields of one variable (towers of function fields)

  • Algebraic Geometry in positive characteristic (automorphisms of curves, maximal curves)

  • Coding Theory (functional codes, AG codes, quantum codes, convolutional codes)

  • Linear sets and their applications (scattered polynomials, MRD codes)

  • Permutation polynomials over finite fields and their applications (bent functions)
