These are areas âwhere research and even education has been around for a really long time.â
Stanford launched its Center for Blockchain Research this summer to bring together students and faculty from across the schoolâs departments to work on various aspects of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
Dan Boneh, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University and co-director of the center, said that every time he talks with a new team in the group he finds himself walking away with three new research ideas. âThere are new technical questions being raised by blockchain projects that we would not work on otherwise,â he says.
Other leading universities that are known for strong engineering programs are adding courses and programs centered around blockchain, too. The University of Waterloo, Georgetown University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are among those expanding their research and course offerings.
