Elia: is a junior computer scientist and cryptographer. He recently obtained a joint M.Sc. in Cybersecurity from the Swiss universities EPFL and ETHZ. Among his relevant works, he conducted a 6-month project to refine and implement a decentralised MPC scheme based on the quantum-resistant BFV cryptosystem; as part of his first internship, he implemented a FIDO2 authenticator in a USB mouse's firmware; for his Master's Thesis (conducted as an internship at the cybersecurity company Kudelski Security), he devised a novel scheme for plausibly-deniable storage and implemented it as a kernel module for Linux. Since his graduation, he has developed an interest for blockchain technologies, especially in the Ethereum ecosystem, which has led him to delve into the vast landscape of peculiar pitfalls surrounding DeFi and Smart Contract development. He is now on a leap year, wandering around the globe with a big backpack full of dreams and t-shirts.
