the University of Zürich.
From 2011-2013 he served as Chair of the
Mathematics Department
and from 2016-2020 he has been Vice Dean of the
College of Science.
He received the Diplom in Mathematics from the University of Basel in
1986 and the Ph.D. in Mathematics from Arizona State University in
1990.
From 1990 until 2004 he has been with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, where he has been last "The Notre Dame Chair in Applied Mathematics" and Concurrent Professor of Electrical Engineering.
In the academic year 1994/1995 he spent a sabbatical year at CWI the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. During the academic year 1999/2000 he was a Guest Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, affiliated with the School of Computer & Communication Sciences .
His current research interests are in coding theory and cryptography. In coding theory he is interested in convolutional codes, LDPC codes and more general codes on graphs. In cryptography his main interest lies in the area of postquantum cryptography, in particular in the area of code based cryptography.
He serves currently on the editorial board of
