Research interests
All storage technologies are converging towards the absolute quantum limit in order to meet a constant demand for greater storage capacity and speed. In an attempt to overcome the ensuing reduction in signal-to-noise ratios, the application of advanced parallel signal processing techniques and Multi-Dimensional coding to multi-track storage systems, are being investigated to satisfy the demand for both increased storage density and higher data rates. This research has already resulted in a number of Two-Dimensional coding strategies for magnetic recording and it is intended to extend this work to Three-Dimensions for volumetic and holographic optical storage.
Key Areas of Interest:
- Digital Signal Processing and Coding for Information Storage Systems
- Optical and Magnetic Storage
- Information Sensing and Security
- Embedded Systems Design
- Interfacing Microprocessor & Microcontroller Systems
- Spintronics and Quantum Computing
