A new approach to compressed sensing. Compressed sensing is an exciting new paradigm promising vastly improved signal sampling and reconstruction in a wide variety of applications including digital cameras, mobile phones and MRI machines. This project will explore a newly discovered approach to compressed sensing which uses mathematical arrays known as hash families.
Towards the prime power conjecture. This project attacks a famous and long standing conjecture in pure mathematics that has important ramifications in many applied areas. The project aims to determine when it is possible to produce more efficient codes for electronic communication and statistically balanced designs for experiments in areas as diverse as agriculture and psychology.
