In the Mitcoin Expo earlier this month I had the opportunity to sit and talk to Neha Narula, the director of the Digital Currency initiative at the MIT Media Lab.
Neha previously studied at MIT, completing his doctorate in 2015. His research and work have tended to focus on distributed systems and databases, with many contributions that imply the analysis of the possible deficiencies and risks of the digital currencies (CBDC) of the Central Bank (CBDC).
He previously worked on relaunching the Digg news aggregation platform, and worked in Google as Senior Software Engineer, where Blobstore designed, a scheme for redundant replication and the delivery of large amounts of data.
We discuss the history of MIT DCI and its role in the history of Bitcoins development in research, as well as the role of academic research in general in relation to bitcoin and cryptographic systems or blockchain.
