Masters by Research Scholarship in Applications of Coding Theory for Distributed Storage Systems

This project aims to investigate advanced techniques in the theory of erasure correcting codes that help speed up the failure recovery process of distributed storage systems.

This scholarship requires a strong background in computer science and/or mathematics. The candidate may choose to develop the theory or dive into the practical codes used in popular storage systems such as HDFS or GFS.

Applicants need to have a background in microbiology, biotechnology molecular biology or another relevant biological science.
