Biography

Majid Salehi is a senior research scientist at Nokia Bell Labs, working on Zero-Knowledge Proofs in the Decentralized/Trustless Systems workstream.
He obtained his Ph.D. on "Securing Bare-metal Embedded Systems Against Remote Code Execution" at the imec-DistriNet research group at KU Leuven. Before joining DistriNet, Majid was a research assistant at Data and Network Security Laboratory, located at the Department of Computer Engineering at the Sharif University of Technology.
Currently, his research focuses on computer security and privacy, especially on Blockchain Security, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC), and Homomorphic Encryption (HE).
