Martin Harrigan

Martin Harrigan is a Lecturer in the Department of Computing at South-East Technological University (SETU). His research focuses on blockchain technologies, decentralized systems, and privacy in cryptocurrency networks. He has contributed to studies on smart contracts, DAO governance mechanisms, and the analysis of protocols like Bisq and Ethereum. His work often intersects computer science, financial systems, and network analysis.

Key research areas include blockchain architecture, tokenomics, and the privacy implications of decentralized platforms. Harrigan has published extensively on topics such as cross-blockchain analysis, address clustering techniques, and the structural patterns of networks like Wikipedia and social media. His findings have been presented at IEEE conferences and peer-reviewed journals.

Notable projects include analyzing the privacy trade-offs in decentralized exchanges (e.g., Bisq), exploring token composition using EVM logs, and investigating voting mechanisms in DAOs. His work emphasizes practical applications of blockchain technology while addressing challenges in security, scalability, and anonymization.
