Bio

I am a Research Scientist at Lisk | Lightcurve, Berlin, Germany since July 2022. My research interests include distributed systems, blockchain, and storage systems. I am currently working on Lisk Improvement Proposals (LIPs) for Lisk ecosystem.


I did my Postdoc from the Institute of Data Science (IDS) at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I received my Ph.D. degree in April 2019 from the University Grenoble Alpes, France under the supervision of Prof. Vivien Quéma and Dr. Sonia Ben Mokhtar. I was also a member of the Grenoble Informatics Laboratory (LIG) during my Ph.D. I was a research assistant at ICTEAM, University Catholique de Louvain, Belgium from April 2018 to December 2018 where I was working with Prof. Etienne Riviere. During my Ph.D., I was working on distributed systems particularly focus on the performance of key-value stores. Prior, I was employed at The ICFAI University, Jaipur, India as a faculty member from Aug 2013 to Mar 2014.
