Pierre-Louis Roman

Hi! I am a research scientist studying the security and efficiency of blockchains from a distributed systems perspective. I have worked on dissemination protocols, consensus protocols, privacy-enhancing protocols, storage systems and hardware/software co-designs for blockchains and distributed systems at large.

I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL working on scalable cryptocurrency systems and at USI Lugano working on secure and efficient data center systems. I completed my PhD on decentralized systems in 2018 supervised by François Taïani and Davide Frey at the University of Rennes - Inria - IRISA. I received an MSc in 2013 and a BSc in 2011 both in computer science from Sorbonne University.

Interests: Blockchains, Distributed systems, Operating systems, Security.
