I am a computer scientist by training and software developer by profession. I am a part-time PhD student in the Department of Informatics at King’s College supervised by Prof. Peter McBurney and work for a multinational technology company. Before joining King’s, I earned degrees from TU Berlin and Birkbeck, University of London.
My research interests are identity based consensus protocols. I am grateful for opportunities for collaboration on research in this area, specifically regarding protocol design and prototyping.
