Research Philosophy 

As a game theorist, it is my core belief that blockchain participants should always be considered rational actors seeking to maximize their individual profit. Therefore, I view blockchain mechanism design as simply leveraging the novel tools that distributed mechanisms and advanced cryptographic primitives offer to better align incentives and deter malicious behavior. Additionally, blockchain-enabled market incentives should be aligned in principle with the underlying network layers, seeking to incentivize decentralization and thus deterring the formation of oligopolies.
