My research focuses on mechanism design and optimization applied to decentralized systems, particularly blockchains.
Rollup Optimization
My primary research goal is to model, analyze, and optimize rollup protocol mechanics. Rollups help base-layer blockchains scale by improving transaction fees and speed. Designing efficient rollup technology, especially from an economic perspective, is a compelling research area.
Blockchain Governance
This field spans economics and political science. I study the players involved and how to design incentives and decision-making rules so participants contribute to the development of the underlying technology and ecosystem.
Decentralized Finance
I study automated market makers (AMMs) and their properties, including their economic mechanisms, efficiency, and impact on decentralized trading.
