Lisboa. He initiated his academic career at the Electrotechnic and
Computers Engineering Department of Instituto Superior Técnico de
Lisboa (IST) in 1989.
From 1986 to 1996 he was a member of the Distributed Systems and
Industrial Automation Group at INESC. From 1997-2007, he was a
(founding) member of the LASIGE laboratory at University
of Lisbon, first as a member of the Navigators group and
later as the leader of the Distributed Algorithms and Network
Protocols group. He served as Director of the LASIGE in
2004-2005. From July 2007 he is a member of the Distributed Systems Group at INESC-ID Lisboa. He currently serves as
scientific coordinator of the Distributed Systems Group and
in the board of directors of INESC-ID Lisboa.
His current interests include fault-tolerant and real-time
distributed systems, group membership and communication, replicated
data management, publish-subscribe systems, peer-to-peer computing and
mobile computing. He has more than 150 publications in these areas. He
has served as PC co-chair of conferences, such as ICDCS, LADIS and
Autonomics. He is co-author of two books on distributed computing (Distributed
Systems For System Architects and Introduction to Reliable
and Secure Distributed Programming). He is a member of the Ordem

Christian Cachin graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science
from ETH Zurich in 1997. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the MIT
Laboratory for Computer Science from 1997-1998. Since 1998 he has
been a Research Staff Member at IBM Research – Zurich, involved
with research projects in the fields of cryptology and distributed
systems. In 2009 he was a visiting researcher at the Ecole
Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL).
Christian Cachin's research focuses on cryptology and distributed
systems. He has authored many peer-reviewed publications in these
fields, holds several patents on secure protocols, and has been a
frequent member of program committees of technical conferences, of
which he chaired several. He is an ACM Distinguished Scientist (2009)
and received IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Awards. He
