Research
Professor
McEliece and his group do research related to the reliable storage
and transmission of information. The general goals are to develop
theoretical performance analyses of existing and proposed storage/transmission
systems, and to design new higher-performance systems. The tools
needed to do this research are highly mathematical, and include
probability, algebra, combinatorics, and information theory.
