What I Expect of STRL

摘要

My research career started nearly 40 years ago; my master's degree was a study on spread spectrum technology. After completing my doctorate, I became interested in encoding theory and its application. About 20 years ago, I got into encryption and data security, and my interest in this topic has continued to the present. During these years, I've been pleased to be involved with the Science & Technical Research Laboratories (STRL) in various ways. As a researcher on coding theory, I first recognized STRL's research prowess when the difference-set cyclic code began to be implemented in teletext broadcasting Dr. Osamu Yamada, a former STRL Director-General, was at the forefront of this work, which was indeed a pioneering private-sector application of error correction encoding.
