معرفی
Roberto Zunino is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Trento, specializing in blockchain technologies, formal methods, and distributed systems. His research bridges theoretical computer science with practical cryptographic applications, particularly in Bitcoin and smart contract ecosystems.
His research interests focus on blockchain security, smart contract formalization, and probabilistic verification. Key areas include MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) theory, UTXO-based smart contracts, and computationally sound tokenization. His work combines rigorous mathematical modeling with real-world protocol analysis, emphasizing security guarantees through formal methods.
Recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward theoretical foundations of blockchain economics and security. His 15 most recent papers (2020-2025) analyze MEV formalization, Bitcoin contract liquidity, UTXO scalability, and smart contract language design, revealing deep integration of type theory, game theory, and cryptographic primitives.
Zunino actively teaches courses including Informatics, Interactive Theorem Proving (using Lean 4), and Computer Tools for Mathematics. His educational focus emphasizes formal verification, imperative programming foundations, and mathematical logic applications in computer science.
