Ron Rothblum, professor in computer science at Technion. Ron is someone who's been working for a very long time on the theory of cryptography and zk topics. In this conversation, we chat about his work on error correcting codes,. read Solomon and coding, Fry, FFTs, Fiatch Amir, and more. Application to attend zk Summit 10 is now open. The event will be happening in London on September 20th.
This week, host Anna Rose and Nico Mohnblatt chat with Ron Rothblum, Professor of Computer Science at Technion. They explore information theory and ZK, diving into the weeds on multiple topics including error correcting codes, FRI, FFTs, Reed-Solomon encoding, Fiat-Shamir and more.
