Ari Juels is the Weill Family Foundation and Joan and Sanford I. Weill Professor of computer science at Cornell Tech, the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, and the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute. He is co-director of the Initiative for CryptoCurrencies and Contracts (IC3). He is also the chief scientist at Chainlink Labs.

Michael Kim is an assistant professor of computer science. His research investigates foundational questions about responsible machine learning. Much of this work aims to identify problematic behaviors that emerge in machine-learned models and to develop algorithmic tools that provably mitigate such behaviors. More broadly, he is interested in how the theory of computation can provide insight into emerging societal and scientific challenges.
