My CV

Bernhard Haslhofer | Research Profile

I am a faculty member at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, where I lead the Financial Technologies research group. Additionally, I am also one of the co-founders of Iknaio Cryptoasset Analytics GmbH and a court-certified expert in IT and cryptoasset forensics.

Research Interests

  • Digital Assets and Decentralized Finance (DeFi): My research focuses on developing and applying computational methods to analyze the technical and socio-economic aspects of cryptoasset ecosystems. The goal is to enable informed decision-making and foster a deeper understanding of emerging digital asset landscapes.
  • Digital Crime and Forensics: I am designing methodologies to uncover the modus operandi of emerging cybercrime phenomena. These insights are then translated into advanced digital forensic techniques to combat evolving digital threats.
  • Disinformation: Through collaborations with fellow researchers, I work to map and analyze the structure and dynamics of large-scale disinformation campaigns, aiming to unveil their impact and develop effective countermeasures.
