Biography
I acquired a PhD in blockchain and consensus protocols, with a strong background in software engineering. My research journey started with a comprehensive security analysis of the Ripple consensus protocol and evolved into a deep dive into decentralized finance, with a specific focus on mitigating front-running attacks. The result of my dedicated work is the development and design of a new fairness protocol, complemented by a fully functional prototype implemented in the Go language.
