Geil's research centers on algebraic coding theory, with significant contributions to affine variety codes, quantum codes, network coding, and finite fields. His work bridges theoretical mathematics and practical applications in data transmission and cryptography. He has developed methods for code construction, decoding, and performance bounds, particularly using Gröbner bases and algebraic geometry.
His recent publications (2020–2023) show a dual focus: (1) advanced coding techniques like Steane-enlargement of quantum codes and nested code pairs, and (2) educational research on project-based learning (PBL), digital transformation, and microcredentials at Aalborg University. This reflects his leadership in both technical research and pedagogical innovation.
The body of his work, including over 79 publications, demonstrates consistent contributions to IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Designs, Codes and Cryptography, and Finite Fields and Their Applications. His research often involves collaborations with experts in coding and cryptography.
Geil has supervised several PhD students and is involved in multiple research projects. Though no specific awards are listed in the text, his editorial roles and sustained publication record indicate recognition in the academic community.
He leads initiatives like the Vision-in-Practice Project, aiming to transform engineering education through structured frameworks and continuous improvement. His work supports interdisciplinary, problem-based learning models central to Aalborg University’s educational philosophy.
