Cong Ling is a Professor of Information Theory and Cryptography at Imperial College London. His research focuses on the study of lattices and their applications to coding and cryptography, as well as exploring their connections with number theory and quantum information.
A lattice is a regular array of points which basically generalizes the concept of the integers to multiple dimensions. For this reason, lattices are central objects studied in modern number theory. Perhaps the most famous application of lattices is sphere packing, which gives rise to their prominent role in information theory. More recently, lattices have been used to construct capacity-achieving codes over wireless fading channels, and have emerged as the most promising approach to post-quantum cryptography. Our research lies on the interface of information theory, number theory, cryptography and quantum information.
