My research interests range from operating systems, networks and distribution infrastructures to user experience, in particular with respect to resource consumption and the latency demands of applications. These aspects dominate my interest in blockchain technology. I'm interested in their resource consumption and ability to support the latency requirements of delay-critical applications and end users.

I have done work on smart contracts, starting from a language-based angle, focusing on suitable language paradigms as well as formal specification and verification methods. Work on privacy and efficiency is also done.

DLT is here to stay and its impact will be transformative across industries and society as whole. Beyond cryptocurrencies, DLT enables a new open and transparent digital infrastructure and innovative smart services and business models for both public and private sectors.

DLTs represent an exciting new infrastructure, allowing digital actors, whether they be people, machines, institutions, to organize themselves socially without necessarily submitting to a central authority.
