Episode 237: Exploring ZK Research with Jens Groth - a podcast by Fredrik Harrysson, Anna Rose

In this week’s episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Kobi (https://twitter.com/kobigurk) chat with guest Jens Groth (https://twitter.com/JensGroth3), Director of Research at DFINITY (https://twitter.com/dfinity) and previously a professor in the Department of Computer Science at UCL. Jens Groth is a leading ZK researcher and is behind a number of advances in the field of ZK in the last few years such as the popular proving system Groth16. The conversation covers his earlier career, the cryptographic problems he tackled in his research, how he solved these, the results of this work as well as his move from research into industry and what he works on today.

Today’s episode is sponsored by Anoma (https://anoma.net/)Anoma is a suite of protocols that enable self-sovereign coordination. Their unique architecture facilitates efficiently the simplest forms of economic coordination such as two parties transferring an asset to each other. As well as more sophisticated ones like an asset agnostic bartering system involving multiple parties without direct “coincidence of wants”; or even more complex ones such as “N-party” collective commitments to solve multipolar traps – where any interaction can be performed with adjustable zero-knowledge privacy.
