Scholar-generated biography
Maosheng Xiong is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, specializing in applied number theory. His research focuses on the construction and analysis of cyclic codes, differential uniformity of functions, and their applications in coding theory and cryptography. He has contributed to the study of weight distributions of cyclic codes, the properties of quadratic permutations, and the design of quantum MDS codes. His work also explores connections between number theory and combinatorial structures such as Steiner systems and 2-designs. Xiong's research has implications for error-correcting codes, cryptographic functions, and finite field arithmetic.
