Research Assistant · National Chengchi University MIS
Zuemen Chu朱廷翊
I work on the infrastructure that lets a credential be trusted without trusting whoever hands it to you — self-sovereign identity, and the contract security underneath it.

What I work on
Research Areas
Blockchain & Digital Identity
Building trust infrastructure on Self-Sovereign Identity standards (W3C DID, Verifiable Credentials), and extending it to identity-gated asset ownership through ERC-3643 RWA tokenization.
Smart Contract Security
Studying auditing methodologies for Solidity contracts — static analysis with Slither, manual review patterns, and formal verification approaches for on-chain financial systems.
Quantum Finance & QML
Implemented QML simulations using Qiskit, exploring VQE and QAOA for financial optimization. Focused on quantum speedup potential for ML tasks in the finance domain.
Agentic AI
Completed AI interdisciplinary micro-program at NCCU. Researching multi-agent system architectures and their applications in financial intelligence workflows.
Selected work
Projects
- Award-winning Project (Merit Award)
PepeLab
A decentralized identity platform on SSI, VC and DID standards, so a credential issued by one institution can be verified by another.
- Blockchain Implementation
RWA Real Estate Tokenization
Fractional property ownership in Solidity, with compliance enforced inside the contracts rather than bolted on off-chain.
- Quantum Research
Quantum Machine Learning Simulation
A 2×2 benchmark crossing classical and quantum data sources with classical and quantum classifiers, to separate a data advantage from a model advantage.
