Abstract
Just like cryptocurrencies revolutionized banking, decentralized computing is poised revolutionize the cloud. 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 provide cloud storage and computing services at the planetary scale by harnessing the power of millions of machines, from ultra high-end servers to the average mobile phone. Other research topics include: massively scalable decentralized storage, massively scalable decentralized computing, decentralized consensus, Sybil resistance, and privacy-performance tradeoffs in decentralized computation.
