Biography

Jakob Dahl Andersen is a Research Associate specializing in Coding and Visual Communication. His research focuses on the transmission of digital data, specifically addressing the risks of errors that occur when data is transmitted rapidly and with minimal power. He explores the use of additional parity symbols, or error-correcting codes, to detect and correct transmission errors. He aims to find effective error-correcting codes that can be feasibly implemented in both senders and receivers, developing corresponding encoders and decoders for various hardware solutions. His work includes the implementation of decoders for folding codes, Reed-Solomon codes, and Turbo codes, primarily targeting the realization of programmable chips (FPGA). He has been involved in various projects, including the standardization of satellite communication systems and high-speed frame synchronization Viterbi decoding, contributing significantly to the field of digital communication and data integrity.
