Rikard Hjort is researching formal methods for developing high-assurance smart contracts for blockchains. He worked on formalizing WebAssembly in K, and now uses KWasm to verify smart contracts written in WebAssembly. He has an M.Sc. in Computer Science from the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He was an intern at Google in 2016 and 2017, and studied at the University of Tokyo in 2017-2018 where he combined his research on blockchains with studying coercion-resistant voting protocols.
