Current research is focused on error correcting codes.
Furthermore, the modeling of proteins and random hetero polymers. The main objective of the proposed research is to apply and adapt statistical mechanical tools to construct a theory for protein folding. This theory should identify those microscopic sequences of amino acids, which have a unique native state, and should predict their three-dimensional folded structure. Statistical mechanics forms an excellent candidate for the study of protein-like systems, because many disordered systems that share essential properties with proteins, have been successfully described.
