Algorand’s Roots in Blockchain Research
Algorand founder Silvio Micali has dedicated his life to solving problems and driving innovation in the field of cryptography. As a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley and then as a faculty member at MIT since 1983, his research led him to co-invent many of the protocols that today serve as the foundations of modern cryptography, including probabilistic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, and verifiable random functions. For their pioneering research, Micali and his collaborators have been recognized with the Turing Award in computer science, among other distinctions.
