Josef Hazi, Co-Founder of Zeroline Capital, Early Contributor at Chainlink. In order to work with blockchain startups I have paused my PhD degree in Applied Superconductivity at the University of Oxford. Out of approximately three hundred projects we see every quarter we support on average two. Beyond providing funding we accelerate our projects, advise them and provide support in Europe. Our partners are top VC’s in the US, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Australia. The three primary pillars that we follow are 1. Fast, scalable and decentralised online currency 2. Fast, scalable and decentralised token platform 3. Fundraising via issuing both utility and security tokens and how this trend will replace traditional fundraising. Besides the progress in finality and scalability research we also monitor the following areas: - Securitization platforms and digital security exchanges - Data privacy, zero-knowledge protocols and trusted execution environments - Cryptocurrency wallets and secure handling of private keys - Interoperability - Custodianship - Adoption-driving Features/Services/DApps I graduated with MEng in Materials Science from the University of Oxford and was awarded the Top in the Year and the Best Masters Thesis prizes in the class of 2015. My Masters Thesis was based on research conducted at a year-long position in powder metallurgy and sintering of nanocrystalline alloys at MIT, using the following techniques: SEM, XRD, EDX, DSC, TMA, and SPEX ball mill. My findings are currently being applied in a startup founded by my MIT supervisor, Professor Schuh. During my PhD studies I was teaching subjects ranging from Advanced Engineering Alloys to fundamental Quantum Physics at several Oxford colleges (Queen’s, Merton, Corpus, St. Catz, St. Edmund).
