This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) award of $242,668 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside supports research exploring the interplay between pseudorandomness and coding theory. The project aims to improve recent code constructions based on expander graphs, which can approach optimal tradeoffs between code distance and rate, and develop locally testable codes with constant rate, soundness, and query complexity. The research will examine fundamental properties of the XOR code to enable high-impact advances in modern state-of-the-art codes. The project also plans to create publicly available educational materials, including new course materials and technical video streams, to benefit experts, students, and enthusiasts. This award, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific discovery and support workforce development through innovative computing research and education.
