معرفی
Øyvind Ytrehus is a Professor at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Bergen (UiB), Norway. He is actively engaged in research and academic supervision, with a focus on coding theory and its applications in communication systems.
Research Interests: His primary research areas include Coding Theory, Error-Correcting Codes, Information Theory, Network Coding, Cryptography, and RFID Communication. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical implementations in wireless and networked systems.
The recent publications (2024–2008) reflect a consistent trajectory in coding for communication security, RFID systems, and iterative decoding. Key trends include the use of formally unimodular lattices for secrecy gain, LDPC and turbo codes for erasure channels, and network coding for multicast and delay optimization. His work frequently intersects with physical-layer security and energy-efficient communication.
Scientific Contributions:
- Co-edited special issues on coding theory and applications.
- Authored foundational work on convolutional codes, stopping sets, and generalized Hamming weights.
- Contributed to RFID and inductively coupled channel modeling.
Advising and Grants: He has supervised several PhD candidates, including Bjørn Møller Greve, Christian W. Otterstad, and Mohsen Toorani. While specific grants are not listed, his extensive publication record and editorial roles suggest active grant involvement in coding and communication research.
Labs and Teams: While no specific lab name is mentioned, his collaborations with researchers at Simula UiB, University of Valladolid, and Lancaster University indicate participation in interdisciplinary research networks focused on coding and communication systems.
