Researchers

Researcher on the physical-infrastructure track of the programme. Designs how programmable-institutional software couples to built environment: smart buildings, prefabricated construction, the physical surfaces that economic zones require.

Affiliations: Architect, Momentum.

Research collaboration. The programme welcomes co-authors, commentary, and formal adversarial review. Of particular interest: formal verification of the compliance composition in Coq or Lean; empirical economic analysis of jurisdictional competition under portable compliance; and integration with existing regulatory-technology ecosystems.
