Sebastian Holler

I am a PhD Student at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in the Heinz Nixdorf Research Group for Cryptocurrencies and Smart Contracts. Before starting my PhD in February 2023, I completed my undergraduate and PhD preparation studies at Saarland University in Saabrücken.

My main research topic is smart contract security, focussing on understanding and formalising frontrunning attacks on blockchains in various settings.
