Adrià Torralba-Agell
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona (Spain).
PhD Candidate - Applied Cryptography on Blockchain and Layer 2.
I am a PhD Student at the K-riptography and Information Security for Open Networks (KISON) research group at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). I hold a double BSc on Mathematics and Computer Science by the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). I also have a MSc on Fundamental Principles of Data Science by UB aswell.
My research interests are on cryptography and blockchain. In particular, I am interested on blockchain security assumptions, and on the use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs to scale blockchains.
