(1) Design detectors for one-dimensional recording channels in advanced perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR).
(2) Design detectors for two-dimensional recording channels in bit patterned media (BPM), shingled recording (SMR).
(3) Develop the LDPC decoder with mixed-schedulings.
(4) Design binary and non-binary LDPC codes based on progressive-edge growth (PEG) algorithm and the product codes.
(5) Investigate the flash-based recording channels and design soft-decision detector.
(6) Perform the experiments and make a trade-off study in shingled magnetic recording (SMR).
