About me
About me
I am a 4th-year (final) PhD student in Computer Science at the Department of Informatics, King's College London, United Kingdom, supervised by Dr. Stefanos Leonardos and Professor Carmine Ventre. Before I started my PhD, I obtained my MSc degree in Computer Science at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom.
My research interests center around Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Crypto-economics. My current focus is the economics of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) on Ethereum, where I apply a combination of game theory, (agent-based) modeling & simulation, empirical data analysis, and mechanism design.
I am fortunate to be advised by researchers from the Robust Incentives Group of Ethereum Foundation and Flashbots.
