Praveensankar Manimaran
Praveen is a PhD Research Fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway working on Self-Sovereign Identity and Verifiable Credentials. As part of PhD, Praveen designed research projects, identified important problems, developed novel solutions, and implemented prototypes to showcase the feasibility. In particular, Praveen solved privacy issues in revocation and verification of Verifiable Credentials using the latest technologies such as Smart Contracts, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, BBS Signatures, Bloom Filters, and Merkle Tree Accumulators. Praveen’s PhD paved a path to gain 4 years of invaluable experience in these next-generation Web3 identity technologies.
