Professor

2002

I am a professor in the department of economics where I teach courses in microeconomics, general equilibrium theory, public economics, and the economics of information and communications technology. My current research is on technology, information, and innovation focused on blockchain, cloud computing, and game theoretic aspects of consensus protocols and IoT ecosystems.

Geeq is a layer 1 blockchain infrastructure platform. Geeq uses a newly developed Proof of Honesty validation protocol which implements honest node behavior in coalition-proof equilibrium. Geeq's no-consensus, consensus approach moves the power to determine truth to the edge and empowers users to protect themselves from dishonest or Byzantine nodes. Geeq's mulitchain architecture provides infinite salability and customizablity to specific uses cases at very low cost (below 1/100 of a cent) per transaction. Learn more at https://geeq.io/.
