Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Gaul is a mathematician-turned-entrepreneur and CEO with 11+ years of experience building research-driven tech ventures and open-science infrastructure from Berlin. He leads EMS Press and co-founded PaperHive, blending deep applied-math expertise (PhD in applied mathematics) with practical product and web development roots dating back to founding Web-Yard. His research focuses on consensus and blockchain mathematics—work that feeds ongoing advisory and researcher roles with SatoshiPay, Nabla Finance, and a TU Berlin project on Federated Byzantine Agreement Systems funded by Stellar. An advocate for free software and decentralized networks, he also serves on The Royal Society’s publishing board, combining scholarly publishing reform with hands-on hacker ethos. Less obvious: he pairs high-level mathematical modeling with everyday engineering, moving between validator deployments and open-access publishing systems.
