 resident: Prof. Edouard Bugnion\nthesis advisor: Prof. Rachid Guerraoui\nc
 o-examiner: Prof. Bryan Ford\n\nAbstract\nJust like cryptocurrencies revol
 utionized banking\, decentralized computing is poised revolutionize the cl
 oud. The goal of my PhD is to research massively scalable systems meant to
  be deployed on the Internet or other large networks. One particular topic
  of interest is Internet Computers\, decentralized systems that can provid
 e cloud storage and computing services at the planetary scale by harnessin
 g the power of millions of machines\, from ultra high-end servers to the a
 verage mobile phone. Other research topics include: massively scalable dec
 entralized storage\, massively scalable decentralized computing\, decentra
 lized consensus\, Sybil resistance\, and privacy-performance tradeoffs in 
 decentralized computation.\n\nBackground papers\n\n- Wood\, Gavin\, "Ether
