I combine my academic work at the University of Athens with applied research in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). My goal is to help Layer-1 architectures mitigate the looming threat that quantum computing poses to current elliptic-curve encryption standards. I don’t believe in security ‘silver bullets,’ but I work on implementing lattice-based signature schemes like CRYSTALS-Dilithium to make the transition as robust as possible. Due to my classes and publications, I usually accept only one consulting contract per month. When I’m not reviewing mathematical audits or discussing attack vectors, I’m probably fighting with the C++ compiler.
