GearBox: An Efficient UC Sharded Ledger Leveraging the Safety-Liveness Dichotomy

I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Systems and Software Security group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester. Before joining Manchester in December 2021, I held post-doc positions in the Aarhus crypto group at Aarhus University (Denmark) and at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) in 2017, supervised by Giuseppe Ateniese.
