Researcher at Ethereum Foundation
Berlin, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnsgar Dietrichs is a researcher and R&D engineer with a decade of experience at the intersection of blockchain protocol development and machine learning. Currently at the Ethereum Foundation, he brings deep Ethereum core development experience from his time at ConsenSys and a strong academic foundation from an M.Sc. in Computer Science and dual B.Sc. degrees in Mathematics and Economics. His background includes applied ML research in quantum chemistry and hands-on prototyping with NumPy/SciPy, reflecting an ability to bridge theoretical methods and production-grade systems. He has built APIs and backend systems earlier in his career, giving him practical software engineering chops alongside research rigor. Based in Berlin, he combines protocol-level insight with mathematical precision, making him especially effective on projects that require both formal reasoning and implementation detail. A lesser-known thread in his profile is his early policy research experience at the German Federal Ministry of Finance, which complements his technical work with an understanding of economic and regulatory contexts.
