Prof. Duman will be using his five-year funding for a project he has named \u201cTRANCIDS: Transmission Over Channels With Insertions and Deletions.\u201d The project will take on the challenge of addressing the effects of insertions and deletions caused by synchronization errors over various communication channels by determining the theoretical limits of transmission and designing practical channel coding solutions that approach those limits. The project builds upon Prof. Duman\u2019s experience in physical layer communications, information theory and channel coding\/modulation \u2013 specifically, his previous work on basic insertion and deletion channels. The findings of the project are expected to have a significant impact on various emerging applications, such as DNA storage and beyond-5G wireless communications.<\/p>\n
Dr. \u0130lday\u2019s project, titled \u201cUNILASE: Second Modelocking for a Universal Material-Processing Laser,\u201d aims to create a laser unlike others to date and to generate a crystal of light \u2013 a perfectly periodic array of ultrafast pulses that are self-assembled and held together by their mutual interactions. These crystals of light will exploit the ablation-cooled regime for ultra-efficient cutting of any material, also invented by Dr. \u0130lday, and may, one day, make possible painless laser surgery and dentistry. This new laser concept was born out of an analogy between laser physics and self-organization, which Dr. \u0130lday developed in two previous ERC projects. Moreover, the physics of the proposed laser is analogous, in name and concept, to second quantization, which underlies modern theoretical physics. By exploring the new conceptual connections, he aims to advance the fundamental understanding of complex systems, with implications that may reach well beyond laser physics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
