Benedikt Wagner
I am a cryptography researcher working at the Ethereum Foundation. In May 2024, I completed my PhD at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security and Saarland University, where I was supervised by Julian Loss. I did my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where I received the award for the best graduation at the department of computer science in 2021/2022. For my Bachelor's and Master's Thesis, which were supervised by Jiaxin Pan, I obtained the Sick Science Award for the best thesis in 2019 and 2021.
In addition to my passion for cryptography, I am also interested in efficient algorithms and data structures, and theoretical computer science in general.
