I worked as a research scientist for Protocol Labs from January 2020 to February 2023. During this time my main focus was the security of the Filecoin consensus protocol.
I have a PhD from the Information Security Group in the Computer Science Department at University College London (UCL). My thesis Levels of Decentralization and Trust in Cryptocurrencies: Consensus, Governance and Applications was supervised by Sarah Meiklejohn and George Danezis.
During my PhD I did a 4 months internship at Facebook (working on their late project Libra/Diem) and collaborated with Protocol Labs.
