Short biography

Benjamin Kraner is a PhD student in the Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies group. Before starting his PhD, Benjamin obtained a master's degree in economics from the University of Zürich. His background in economics provides him with a unique perspective on the design and implementation of DLTs, particularly with respect to the economic incentives that underlie these systems. Benjamin's research interests include the study of consensus mechanisms, which are fundamental to the functioning of blockchain and DLTs. He is particularly interested in the economic incentives that are built into these systems and how they affect the behaviour of network participants. His work aims to explore the impact of these incentives on the security, scalability, and efficiency of DLTs.
