Chrysoula Stathakopoulou is a researcher in Zurich with a decade of experience at the intersection of cryptography, security engineering, and blockchain systems. She holds advanced degrees from ETH Zürich and the National Technical University of Athens and completed a PhD in computer science while producing applied research at IBM on threshold cryptography for blockchain systems. Now at Chainlink Labs, she focuses on research that bridges rigorous cryptographic techniques with practical decentralized protocols, drawing on prior work building threat models and security tooling for industrial systems. Her background includes hands-on implementation (e.g., a Django/JavaScript threat modeling tool) and translating academic results into real-world security improvements, suggesting a practitioner-minded researcher comfortable in both lab and production contexts.
