Kenta Kasai

Kenta Kasai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering at the Institute of Science Tokyo. His research lies at the intersection of quantum error correction, coding theory, information theory, LDPC codes, and iterative decoding. He has contributed to the design and analysis of classical and quantum error-correcting codes, with emphasis on non-binary LDPC codes, LDPC-CSS constructions, spatially coupled codes, and decoding methods for high-performance error correction. His recent work focuses on quantum LDPC code constructions, decoding near coding-theoretic limits, and mitigation of error floors in quantum error correction. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2006 and began his academic career there as an Assistant Professor in the same year. He later became an Associate Professor and continues his work at the Institute of Science Tokyo. His research combines mathematical code construction, algorithm design, and performance analysis for reliable communication and fault-tolerant quantum information processing.
