Undergraduate Student Researcher

Jun 2018 – Aug 2018 · 2 mos · Hong Kong SAR

Studied arbitrarily varying channels (AVCs), their capacity characterizations, generalizations of classical coding theory bounds to AVC settings, and the role of common randomness. Developed tight bounds on the amount of common randomness required to reliably communicate over AVCs.
