Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarios Georgiou is a research engineer and Computer Science PhD with a decade of experience specializing in cryptography and applied research for secure decentralized systems. Based in New York, he combines academic depth—introducing novel cryptographic primitives that limit key usage and designing blockchain-less digital currency protocols—with hands-on engineering at Galois and industry engagements like ThunderCore and IOHK. His work spans quantum-resistant signatures, smart-contract randomness, and one-time hardware-backed cryptographic constructs, blending theory with practical audits and implementations. Known as a self-described "Geek | Hacker | Dreamer," he has a track record of uncovering real-world vulnerabilities (e.g., rogue-key attacks) while proposing elegant, non-obvious constructions such as decentralized currencies without public ledgers.
