Ph.D.

My work as a Ph.D. student at Lund University was focused on lossless data compression. Below is a list of my published papers:

• On the Estimation and Model Costs in Lossless Universal Image Data Compression by Context Weighting (Symposium on Image Analysis, Lund, 1996)
• Lossless Compression of Grayscale Images via Context Tree Weighting (DCC 1996)
• Weighting of Double Exponential Distributed Data in Lossless Image Compression (DCC 1998)
• Notes on the P-Context Algorithm (ISIT 1998)
• Some Results on Lossless Compression of Grayscale Images ('Teknisk Licentiat'-thesis, October 1998)
• Some Notes on the Context Mapping Function in Lossless Data Compression (DCC 2000)
• A Technique for Prediction and Probability Assignment (PPA) in Lossless Data Compression (ISIT 2000)
• The Qualitative Modeling and Compression of the Request Sequences in ARQ Protocols (DCC 2001)
• Universal Lossless Source Coding Techniques for Images and Short Data Sequences (Ph.D.-thesis, April 6, 2001)
