Abstract

I am a Computer Science Lecturer (roughly equivalent to a US Assistant Professor) at the University of Sydney. I co-founded D23E.ch.

My focus is on security and privacy issues, with the ultimate goal of developing generalized AI in system/software security to identify vulnerabilities, much like how Noam Brown created the first Poker AI. While I am not limited to blockchain, I find it particularly engaging due to its vast amount of open code and bytecode, transparent data from millions of users and bots, and real-world attacks involving billions of USD. Don't get tricked by the term "blockchain" though. My research in blockchain aligns closely with general system/software security, despite the specialized name.
