I am a Research Assistant at the Computer Science department of Eotvos Lorand University. I completed my PhD in 2023 under the supervision of Peter Burcsi and Daniel A. Nagy. I hold a B.Sc. (2014) in Mathematics from Eotvos Lorand University (HUN, 2014) and a M.Sc. in Cybersecurity from University of Trento (ITA, 2015) and University of Saarbruecken (GER, 2017). I completed research internships at IMDEA Software Institute, Madrid, Spain in 2021 Fall semester, and at a16zcrypto, New York City, USA in 2023 summer.

My research interests include Security&Privacy, particularly security and privacy of blockchains; Applied Cryptography, privacy-enhancing technologies; Zero-knowledge protocols; Blockchain scalability.
