The Information Storage and Memories (ISM) at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is conducting theoretical and applied research in the area of non-volatile memories and storage systems.

ISM specializes in information and coding theory as well as coding techniques and algorithms for various applications in storage and communications. One of the primary areas of research is coding for DNA storage. We study several problems related to clustering, reconstruction algorithms, error-correcting codes, and constrained codes which are specifically motivated by the DNA storage channel.

The key expertise of the COD group at TUM is coding theory and security, including coding for storage, post-quantum cryptography, coded computing, network coding, and privacy.

Our goal is to make communications and storage efficient, reliable, and secure. Coding for DNA-based storage is one of our focus areas. The biological processes in DNA-based data storage require codes that correct special errors such as losses of sequences and symbol errors as insertions, deletions, and duplications. We, therefore, work on insertion/deletion correction, duplication correction, investigating the channel capacity of the DNA channel, theoretical efficiency of DNA synthesis, and developing codes that are tailored to the whole DNA storage channel.
