I was fortunate to have the chance to talk with Neha Narula, Director of Digital Currency Initiative at the MIT Media Lab.
Neha completed her PhD at MIT in 2015. Neha’s research has been primarily focused on distributed databases and systems. Many of her publications have involved analysis of potential weaknesses and risks associated with Central Bank Digital Currencies.
She was a Google senior software engineer who designed Blobstore for the redundant replication of large amounts of data.
We talked about the history of the MIT DCI, its importance in Bitcoin’s development and the general role that academic research plays in relation to Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cryptography is a form of encryption blockchain systems.
