Research in the Mathematics Department of Mzuzu
University
The Mathematics Department is engaged in research in the
area of Coding Theory and Cryptography. Its specific interest is
in the classification of Goppa codes. Under this heading come
the many different aspects of Goppa codes. Goppa codes are a
vast family of codes which so far have defied classification. The
more one delves into them the more facinating they appear.
They hold many treasures yet to be discovered. Some of the
postgraduate students who, at present, are taking the MSc
Degree in Information Theory, Coding and Cryptography look
forward to discovering some of these treasures.
A second area of interest is secure cryptosystems. A third area
of interest is quasicyclic codes. Yet another area of research
being developed is codes on graphs.
International Conferences:
On the above areas (and other areas), the Mathematics
Department of Mzuzu University has already contributed at the
following International
Conferences:
* Workshop in Coding and Cryptography 2001 (WCC2001)
* Workshop in Coding and Cryptography 2003 (WCC2003)
* 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory
(ISIT 2004)
* ICT 2005 - 12th International Conference on
Telecommunications (ICT2005)
* SAMSA 2005 - Southern African Mathematical Science
Association Conference
* WEWORC07 - Western European Workshop on Research in
Cryptology
* IEEE AFRICON 2007 held in Windhoek, Namibia
* SAMSA 2007, Southern African Mathematical Science
Association, Namibia 2007.
* SAMSA 2008, Southern African Mathematical Science
Association, Maputo 2008
