Marios Georgiou

Engineer

My research has focused on Quantum Cryptography, Cryptocurrencies, and how these two connect. The work I have been most proud of is how to use quantum computing to build super-fast decentralized cryptocurrencies. I am a member of the Pancyprian Choir of New York City and in the pre-COVID era, we would perform concerts with Greek and Cypriot singers.
