Youssef El Housni
Youssef El Housni is a cryptography researcher at Consensys and a developer and maintainer of gnark, an open-source Go library for zero-knowledge proofs. With Aurore Guillevic, El Housni designed the BW6-761 pairing-friendly elliptic curve for use with BLS12-377 in one-layer SNARK proof composition, and later generalized the pair into families of SNARK-friendly 2-chains of elliptic curves published at Eurocrypt 2022.
