Christian Badertscher

I am a cryptographer and lecturer with focus on distributed ledger technologies and I am based in Zurich, Switzerland. I am currently the Director of Research Strategy and Planning at Input Output (IOG), and a lecturer at the School of Engineering of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

Prior to that, I held a position as a research associate at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where I was also a member of the Blockchain Technology Lab directed by Prof. Aggelos Kiayias. In 2018 I completed my PhD in the Cryptography and Information Security Research Group at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, under the supervision of Prof. Ueli Maurer. I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science from ETH Zurich.

About my Work

I conduct research in cryptography with a focus on provable security in the areas of secure communication, outsourced storage, blockchain technologies, and general multi-party protocols.

My work further evolves around system design and IT security solutions, with specific focus on cryptographic components and the applicability of blockchain technologies. For a complete CV or general inquiries, do not hesitate to contact me directly: chrigi (dot) badi (at) gmail (dot) com.
