Guillermo Angeris

Guillermo Angeris is the chief scientist at Bain Capital Crypto, where he focuses on decentralized finance, succinct proofs, and the mathematics of blockchain systems. A self-described Stanford lifer, he earned his BS, MS, and PhD in electrical engineering there, with doctoral work spanning optimization, photonics, robotics, and statistics under Stephen Boyd and Jelena Vučković. His research includes the original formalizations of decentralized exchanges as constant function market makers (CFMMs) and the framing of blockchain fee markets as optimization problems. He is also a longtime co-host of the Zero Knowledge podcast, where he interviews researchers working on zero-knowledge cryptography and the decentralized web.
