Lucas Palma is a Ph.D. computer scientist and educator from Santa Catarina, Brazil, with over a decade of experience building secure software systems and leading research projects in applied cybersecurity. He combines academic rigor as a substitute professor at UFSC with hands-on engineering, having developed certificate management systems for Brazil’s ICP and led cross-functional teams in both research and product delivery. As Project Manager at LabSEC he directs a Ministry of Education–funded blockchain traceability network (RRDES), bridging cryptography, digital identity and permissioned ledgers for higher education. His research portfolio spans blockchain, smart contracts, digital signatures, PKI and verifiable credentials, feeding directly into practical implementations and partnerships with national authorities. Comfortable switching between low-level C/C++ and high-level Python/Java work, he also mentors students and recruits talent to grow institutional capabilities. A detail that sets him apart: his trajectory began in infrastructure and pentesting before evolving into doctoral research, giving him rare end-to-end visibility from server ops to formal verification of security protocols.
