Cilj istraživanja je konstrukcija novih kombinatoričkih struktura i linearnih kodova s dobrim karakteristikama, posebice LDPC kodova i ekstremalnih Z4-kodova. Kako bi se dobili novi kodovi poželjno je kao polazišnu točku koristiti nove kombinatoričke strukture. Također, iz dobivenih kodova će se konstruirati kombinatoričke strukture (grafovi i dizajni) te proučavati njihova svojstva.
