Description: In the magnetic recording world, pure technology of digital signal processing for
improving the recording density has already reached its limit based on nowadays
technology. Designing much powerful forward error correcting codes seems have much more space for
promoting the recording density. In this project, you will have to design some Algebraic Geometry
codes including basic RS codes, Hermitian codes, elliptic codes and codes based on other algebraic
curves for magnetic recording channel, which is highly correlated ISI channel.

Prerequisites: background in abstract algera, basic knowledge of error correcting codes, c or matlab
