Performance, Scalability, Sustainability, and Evaluation of Distributed Ledger Technologies

More from our lab members:

I research within SMARTMED research project and am exploring how to exploit blockchain technology and Smart Contracts to enhance the healthcare sector. Our principal approach in SMARTMED is to facilitate solutions for health registries by using Smart Contracts and the Blockchain Paradigm. From the data safety, authenticity, and nonrepudiation point of view, blockchain is considered a perfect fit for sharing medical records since it provides an easily accessible, immutable, and transparent history of all contract-related data, adequate for building applications with trust, accountability, and transparency.

Salar - Ph.D.

I've been working on various aspects of Distributed Ledger Technologies, from network to consensus and applications. I'm particularly interested in DAG-based DLTs, alternative consensus protocols, evaluation frameworks, as well as P2P protocols.

Thiago - PostDoc

Blockchain is a revolutionary architecture that showed a way to eliminate middle-man in many applications. I am investing the role of blockchain in future Identity Management Systems to enable a decentralized society.

Praveen - Ph.D.

Bitcoin solved the problem of consensus in a permissionless environment like the internet, however at huge computing cost. I am interested in the properties of such system and how to make it less wasteful and more useful since I believe that cryptocurrencies are here to stay.

Andrea - Ph.D.

I am a member of Smart Community Neighborhood - driven by the energy informatics (smartNEM) project whose vision is to exploit state-of-the-art ICT methods, tools, and techniques for future sustainable energy systems. I am working on designing P2P energy trading (sharing) systems in a community neighbourhood, finding their security issues, and providing suitable solutions to maintain the security of those systems by using Machine Learning techniques. My research interests include Machine Learning, Data Mining, Security, Blockchain, Optimization, and Energy Informatics.

Sara - Ph.D.

Despite the emerging consolidation efforts, the blockchain area remains highly turbulent without systematization, educational materials, or cross-system comparative analysis. We provide a systematic and comprehensive study of widely different blockchain systems and present it as a cross-system comparison, hoping to contribute towards systematization of the area and help to an in-depth understanding of the design principles behind blockchain systems.

Mohammad - Ph.D.

My name is Min Zhang. I am a PhD fellow at Department of Informatics at University of Oslo. My currently research is on Peer to peer energy trading based on blockchain technologies. I have experience mainly on Hyperledger Fabric blockchain.

Min - Ph.D.

Currently, I am working on a project with a primary focus on exploring novel mechanisms to achieve highly secure and sustainable global blockchain platforms. The evaluation of these mechanisms will encompass performance and scalability considerations while accommodating the diverse requirements of various application types.

Alina - Ph.D.

I am a member of PriTEM research project, which aims to develop a new knowledge in the area of transactive energy management at the intersection of Energy technology, Energy Informatics, Psychology, and Data and Energy Law. My primary goal is to contribute to the development of novel, scalable and computationally efficient solutions for blockchain-assisted and privacy-protected data sharing in transactive energy systems.

Daniel - Ph.D.

Looking into different DAG-based DLTs and their knowledge representation and convergence aspects.
