Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Hansen is a cybersecurity leader and PhD student in cryptography at Aarhus University with nine years of hands-on experience in competitive CTFs, coaching, and secure protocol development. As Head Coach of the Danish national cybersecurity team he led challenge design and training that helped the team win gold in 2022 and bronze in 2023, and he also captains internationally ranked teams like Kalmarunionen and Norsecode for Defcon finals. He brings applied cryptanalysis expertise from over 100 CTFs and practical blockchain consensus work—implementing and analysing novel blockstreaming-style protocols in Haskell for Concordium.
