Rowdy Chotkan

Rowdy Chotkan is a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), where he studies trustworthy distributed systems. His research focuses on decentralised technologies that remain secure, reliable, and resilient in adversarial environments, with particular interests in blockchain protocols, digital identity, and incentive mechanisms.

His work combines theoretical foundations with the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of real-world systems. He has published research on blockchain and distributed computing, and contributes to the international research community through peer review, academic service, and the organisation of scientific conferences.

Alongside his academic work, Rowdy advises organisations on blockchain, cybersecurity, and distributed systems, and develops educational content for both technical and non-technical audiences. He has also taught blockchain and distributed systems at university and professional levels, including an earlier edition of Fundamentals of Blockchain at Harbour.Space University in Bangkok.
