Michael Zargham is the founder and CEO of BlockScience. Dr. Zargham holds a PhD in systems engineering from the University of Pennsylvania where he studied optimization and control of decentralized networks. His earliest work on peer-to-peer effects in business decision making was developing algorithms to reverse engineer the word of mouth effect in enterprise software licensing decisions in 2005. In the intervening years, Dr. Zargham has designed data driven decision systems in both business and robotics applications, built a data science team for a Media Technology firm, and worked on the mathematical specifications of blockchain enabled software systems with a focus on observability and controllability of the information state of the networks.
