Honold教授的研究领域是代数编码理论及其与抽象代数、组合学和几何学的联系。尽管他被教育为一个纯粹的，而不是应用方面的数学家，但他已经改变了他的兴趣（尤其是当他在浙江大学的时候）从而转向应用，并完成了面向具体应用的研究，例如工业通信的错误检测代码、LDPC代码和网络编码。他目前（自2016年以来）关于网络编码的子空间代码上的项目已得到了中国国家自然科学基金的资助。

Prof. Honold's research area is algebraic coding theory and its links with abstract algebra, combinatorics and geometry. Although being educated as a pure rather than applied mathematician, he has shifted his interests (especially during his stay at Zhejiang University) towards applications and done application-specific research, for example on error-detecting codes for Industrial Communication, on LDPC codes and on network coding. The current project (since 2016) on subspace codes for network coding is supported by a grant from the National Natural Science Foundation of
