My main research interests are discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science; I have published some 90 scientific papers on these topics. In discrete mathematics my main focus is on combinatorics, graph theory, design theory, in computer science on coding theory, cryptography, complexity of algorithms, and security of databases. I travel an...
At the moment I am focused on scientific problems of the NATO grant “Secure Implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography”, see http://re-search.info/. With Prof. Grosek from Slovak University of Tec...With Dr. Semaev from University of Bergen, and with Dr. Tuza from the Mathematical Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, we work on solving sparse systems of equation that are related to...With Dr. Etzion from Technion, Haifa we work on problems related to perfect codes, Sidon sets, and the Golomb-Welch conjecture.For a long time I keep working on problems inspired by Minkowski’s conjecture on tiling a space by clusters of unit cubes.In recent years I have been focused on incorporating my research into teaching. As I part of this effort I have introduced new courses T12H 412 Cryptography and TMATH 413 Coding Theory. I supervise undergraduate/ graduate research in these areas both at UWT and abroad.
