Short biography
| Her research focuses on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, with an emphasis on uncovering network topologies, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and assessing the resilience of P2P infrastructures used in cryptocurrency platforms. By combining data-driven analysis with a deep understanding of decentralised systems, her work aims to improve the security and robustness of blockchain ecosystems. |
