1) RESEARCH. Most of the project time was devoted to research. We tackled difficult open problems on the mathematics of error-correcting codes, with a particular focus on their structural properties (covering radius, density questions, tensor representation of codes, connections between codes and subspace designs, connections between codes and rook theory). Our findings resulted in various publications in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and research talks.
2) DISSEMINATION. Our results were disseminated via publications in journals, conference proceedings, and research talks at international conferences and seminars. The research outputs associated with the projects are as follows:
-- 7 papers published in international peer-reviewed journals or submitted for publication,
-- 3 papers in refereed conference proceedings,
-- 8 talks at international conferences/workshops,
-- 7 seminar talks.
A detailed list of talks and publications is provided in the technical report.
3) OUTREACH. The researcher held information sessions about scientific university studies in high schools.
4) MENTORING EXPERIENCE. The researcher co-supervised MSc and PhD students during the grant duration, acquiring mentoring experience.
5) TEACHING EXPERIENCE. The researcher acquired teaching experience as the lecturer of mathematics courses at BSc and MSc level.
6) PARTICIPATION TO CONFERENCES. The researcher participated to 10 international conferences/workshops during the grant period and to several research seminars in Europe. He was also regular participant of seminar series at his host institution.
