My research encompasses two main areas of focus. Firstly, I am interested in developing critical and trustworthy infrastructure that ensures the secure execution of applications by leveraging decentralized technologies like blockchain and federated learning. In doing so, I address challenges related to data management, including distributed access control, data trust and privacy, across various sectors such as healthcare, smart grid, agriculture and supply chain. By emphasizing the trustworthiness of the computing environment, my goal is to establish a robust foundation for secure and reliable application execution.
Secondly, I explore solutions to enhance the underlying technologies, particularly in the field of blockchain interoperability. By tackling this challenge, I aim to establish a secure and operational infrastructure that facilitates the development of decentralized applications on a larger scale. Through seamless integration and interaction among various blockchain networks, my objective is to enhance the reliability, scalability and security of decentralized systems.
