The Jekyll and Hyde of Cryptocurrencies with Dr. Ari Juels

Professor of Computer Science at Cornell Tech & Co-Director of the Initiative for CryptoCurrencies and Contracts (IC3).

At our inaugural After Hours event, Cornell Tech’s own Dr. Ari Juels spoke to Alumni about “The Jekyll and Hyde of Cryptocurrencies.”

Prior to coming to Cornell Tech, Ari was the Chief Scientist of RSA (The Security Division of EMC), Director of RSA Laboratories, and a Distinguished Engineer at EMC, where he worked until 2013. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from U.C. Berkeley in 1996.

His recent areas of interest include blockchains, cryptocurrency, and smart contracts, as well as applied cryptography, cloud security, user authentication, and privacy.

In 2004, MIT’s Technology Review Magazine named Dr. Juels one of the world’s top 100 technology innovators under the age of 35. Computerworld honored him in its “40 Under 40” list of young industry leaders in 2007. He has received other distinctions, but sadly no recent ones acknowledging his youth.
