{{ :en:group:members:rimg_payam1.jpg|Payam}} Payam was a postdoc at ALGO from August 2004 until April 2006. His research concentrated mostly on the design and analysis of Raptor codes on memoryless binary symmetric channels. He designed and implemented new density evolution methods geared towards this class of codes, and studied the asymptotic and finite length behavior of Raptor codes. After leaving ALGO, Payam joined [[http://www.digitalfountain.com/|Digital Fountain]] as a senior researcher. ---- dataentry member ---- title : Dr. fullname : Payam Pakzad webpage_url : avatar_img64 : en:group:members:rimg_payam1.jpg email_mail : tel : position : listgroup : d state : past left_dt: 2007-12-31 table : members summary : Payam was a postdoc at ALGO from August 2004 until April 2006.
