Blockchain Technologies

Blockchain technology has attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry. Its popular applications include cryptocurrency, smart contracts, non-fungible tokens (NFT), Web3 and many others. It is an interdisciplinary field encompassing distributed systems, security, privacy, cryptography, database and compiler. We conduct fundamental and applied research in blockchain consensus and decentralized applications. Our projects are funded by federal agencies, such as FHWA and the results of our research are published in top venues, such as IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and IEEE ICDCS.
