      My doctoral advisor was Prof. Christian Cachin.We investigated threshold-cryptographic protocols, including secret-sharing, digital signatures, and distributed key generation. We also worked on consensus and multiple aspects of distributed systems and blockchains, such as trust, efficiency, scalability, and ordering requirements.My projects were balanced between theory and practice. Most of them included implementations in Rust, C++, or Python, as well as cloud deployments and benchmarks. Show less
