Current research projects include: connection to IoT platforms and it's usability, distributed systems, data mining and machine learning, large-language models, anti-money laundering techniques, scalability and resiliency, smart contracts, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchains interoperability, voting and election systems based on blockchain, privacy and security in blockchains and cryptocurrencies, asset sharing blockchain platforms, zero-knowledge proof projects, decentralized finances (DeFi), and applications of blockchain into normal life.

Moreover, our research endeavors extend to RegTech, where we explore advanced Anti-Money Laundering techniques.
