- Design and implementation of privacy-preserving protocols
- Contributed to the development of folding schemes and ZKML solutions
About Me
I am a Computer Scientist specializing in cryptography and blockchain technology. I received my PhD in cryptography from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where I researched electronic voting systems and anonymous identification protocols under the supervision of Damián López Rodríguez and José M. Sempere in the ALFA research group.
Currently, I work as a Cryptography Research Engineer at Nethermind, focusing on zero-knowledge technology and privacy-preserving solutions.
My research interests include cryptography, e-voting, privacy, and blockchain.
