Joan Feigenbaum is the Grace Murray Hopper Professor of Computer Science at Yale University, with a joint appointment in Economics. She holds a B.A. in Mathematics from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University. Her career includes significant contributions to AT&T's Information Sciences Research Center, where she pioneered research in algorithmics for massive datasets.
Her research focuses on cybersecurity, privacy-preserving technologies, computational complexity, and the intersection of economics and computation. She has developed influential algorithms for network data analysis and incentive-compatible distributed systems. Feigenbaum has also led efforts in accountable computing, privacy frameworks, and blockchain governance.
- Key Contributions: Trust management, privacy-preserving protocols (e.g., PriFi), and formal models of accountability.
- Service: Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cryptology (1997–2002), Program Chair for Crypto 1991 and Complexity 1998.
Feigenbaum's awards include Fellowships from the ACM and AAAS, and recognition as a 'Woman of Innovation' by the Connecticut Technology Council. She leads Yale's multidisciplinary blockchain research center funded by a $5.75M grant.
Grants & Labs: Collaborative research on legally accountable cryptographic systems (LAChS), privacy-preserving data sharing frameworks (PRShare), and blockchain governance models.
