Seminar UFPel on Cryptography and Blockchain
Date:
Seminar on Blockchain research at UFPel
This week I gave a seminar to the University of Pelotas, in Portuguese it is more well known as UFPel. I was invited by Professor Ricardo Araujo, an old friend from the high school. We used to share the workbench to perform experiments with electronic circuits. Prof. Ricardo is a professor of machine learning at UFPel and is coordinating a series of seminars which are part of the course for graduate students.
The main idea is to present the students other areas in computer science. My presentation was basically a 1-hour description of a blockchain system and the brief description of a few cryptographic primitives. In the end, I presented some of the work we have been doing in our IOHK/Tokyo Tech Lab in Oookayama Campus. I added a few comments in a couple of more areas, including some of my PhD research, i.e., Generic Group Model and Algebraic Model.
The video of the whole presentation and the chat in the end, including the questions is available on Youtube in the channel of the department. However I should let you know in advance that the whole conversation is in Portuguese.
