Our Academic Program representatives recently visited the University of the Philippines UP Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (UP EEEI) to meet with faculty and support the university's embedded systems and FPGA curriculum with Microchip development platforms, including the PolarFire® SoC Discovery Kit and Curiosity Nano Explorer boards.

These tools will help expand hands-on learning and research opportunities while increasing the integration of Microchip technologies across the university's programs. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about UP EEEI's innovative work and further strengthen our partnership in preparing the next generation of engineers.

[FEATURED EEEI PUBLICATION]
Every month, we will be featuring EEEI publications as part of highlighting the exemplary research work of our faculty, researchers, and students.

For August 2026, we feature the paper "Code Design for Duplex Read Sequencing" by EEEI's Dr. Adrian Vidal and his colleagues from Monash University, Dr. Viduranga Bandara Wijekoon and Dr. Emanuele Viterbo.

This paper has also been awarded the International Publication Award by the UP System.

Abstract:
Motivated by duplex read sequencing developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies, this paper proposes a concatenated coding scheme for nanopore sequencers where DNA sequences are decoded from noisy reads of the template and reverse-complement strands from the same DNA molecule, that is, a duplex read. First, we show that the double-strand pairwise error probability (PEP) bound is multiplicative with respect to the single-strand PEP bounds of the template and reverse-complement codebooks, thus giving duplex decoders significantly lower error rates compared to simplex decoders which only use the template strand. Then, we propose a decoder for multiple concatenations of short codebooks designed using the double-strand PEP bound.
