Short cv (updated on 01/02/2021).

I primarily work in algebraic coding theory, finite geometry, and combinatorics. My early research focused on self-dual codes and their automorphisms, with a particular emphasis on extremal codes. Currently, my work explores mainly G-codes (quasi-cyclic codes with additional symmetries), minimal and intersecting codes, and rank-metric codes. These families exhibit intriguing connections with other areas of mathematics, such as representation theory, finite geometry, and combinatorics, as well as potential applications in cryptography. Throughout my academic career, I have also been interested in problems related to Euclidean lattices, the Möbius function of subgroups, and the arithmetic of finite fields.
