📣Excited to announce that I will start as an Assistant Professor @PurdueCS in Fall 2026! . I plan to recruit multiple PhD students for a broad range of cryptography and blockchain topics. More details soon. For the next year, I'll be a postdoc at Columbia with @Tim_Roughgarden.

This needs to be highlighted. Yes, there is no single notion of "fairness.". But the hard truth is that *any* definition proposed so far results in fundamentally better security than existing systems.

@crypto_gakusei @dailinsubjam @AriJuels @sreeramkannan Themis is designed for partially synchronous networks, enforces the strongest notion of fair ordering proposed to date, and achieves the same asymptotic complexity and comparable performance to state-of-the-art consensus protocols without any ordering guarantees.

Introducing Themis, our new fair ordering consensus protocol. Themis offers the same strong ordering property as Aequitas, but is substantially more practical. Joint work w/ @crypto_gakusei, @dailinsubjam, @AriJuels, and @sreeramkannan . Full Paper:
