Jonathan Detchart

Associate Professor, ISAE-SUPAERO

I specialize in blockchain, distributed storage, cryptography, and erasure coding. After several years as a developer at both INRIA and ISAE-SUPAERO, I pursued a PhD in applied mathematics to deepen my expertise. From 2018 to 2023, I served as a Research Engineer at ISAE-SUPAERO before being appointed Associate Professor.

My recent work centers on blockchain technologies, particularly low-storage decentralized ledgers and modular zk-rollup designs, to significantly improve scalability, security, and privacy. I have also contributed to erasure coding—most notably through XOR-based coding and polynomial ring transforms—which enhance data storage and transmission reliability. This research resulted in the publication of an RFC describing a network protocol based on erasure coding. Additionally, I focus on p2p, zero-knowledge proofs and other privacy-preserving technologies, aiming to advance secure, decentralized storage solutions.

Research Interests :

• Blockchains and Zk-Rollups
