Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessandro Baccarini is an applied cryptographer with eight years of experience focused on secure multi-party computation, threshold FHE, and privacy-enhancing technologies, currently at Input Output Group and consulting through Guardian Cryptography. He holds a PhD from the University at Buffalo where he built high-performance MPC frameworks (achieving up to 33× speedups) and developed novel information-theoretic methods to quantify leakage from secure computation. His work spans protocol design, efficient C++ implementations, and practical deployments for blockchain and privacy-preserving analytics, including a 4× performance improvement in an actively secure threshold decryption prototype. Comfortable moving between research and engineering, he has led compiler-level optimizations for PICCO, mentored students, and produced publishable results that bridge theory and practical system gains. Based in New York, he combines deep theoretical insight with hands-on systems optimization to make advanced cryptographic primitives usable in real-world ecosystems.
