Following the launch of this initiative, Dean Marianne Lewis, Ph.D., stated that students will be able to obtain hands-on, practical learning in the new field of financial technology, adding that:
"Our students will learn how to manage cryptocurrencies and how such digital assets impact our economy, positioning UC as the regional leader and among the top universities nationally with this kind of program.”
Ke_Arnol_d The projects are funded by Dan Kautz and Woody Uible, who will provide them through UC's Carl H. Lindner College of Business. The funding also covered the creation of public-private lab space in the new Digital Future headquarters, which is expected to open later in 2022.
Ke_Arnol_d I'm available to tutor 🤠
Ke_Arnol_d this is how it starts, engineers and science heading into crypto, this is how we make this field better. The dev team behind Polygon have proven to be rife with smart engineers, as they have already pioneered zk, supernets, defi, nfts and web 3
Ke_Arnol_d Great to see that other schools are opening programs about crypto. The Pratt School of Engineering pioneered this space with the Fintech Graduate program
