LONDON, Nov. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Following October's successful 10th annual
Peer-to-Peer Financial Systems Workshop in Dubai, where the launch of independent
foundation Exponential Science was announced, founders Dr.
Paolo Tasca and Professor
Nikhil Vadgama have bolstered their
team with the hiring of former Cointelegraph editor-in-chief,
Kristina Cornèr. Kristina will lead the Partnerships and Strategy
arm of the foundation, bringing deep expertise in securing new
resources and forging impactful partnerships.
Exponential Science was established to address the growing
interdependencies among emerging digital technologies and deep
tech. It focuses on harnessing the synergy between blockchain and
other cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence,
quantum computing, AR/VR, and other deep-tech innovations.
Scientists have long driven many of humanity's greatest
achievements and translating this academic expertise into
actionable insights for businesses and regulators is crucial. To
assist with this, Exponential Science has brought on Kristina whose
mission is to communicate the foundation's work effectively across
industries and sectors, ensuring its impact reaches both practical
and policy applications.
Kristina joins Exponential Science after seven years at leading
blockchain publication Cointelegraph. With her extensive knowledge
of the digital assets landscape and blockchain, Kristina is
expertly placed to help the foundation broaden its connections and
expand its research to new audiences in a digestible and engaging
way. Kristina is also an accomplished sustainability leader,
serving as an ambassador for the Climate Chain Coalition, an
international, multi-stakeholder organisation focused on advancing
blockchain and digital technologies to support climate action and
sustainability. She is also a founding advisory member of
100Women@Davos, which has helped to build a community of female
CEOs, leaders, and change-makers dedicated to advancing the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
"Exponential Science is uniquely positioned to unite businesses,
regulators, and academics to tackle global challenges using the
potential of blockchain, AI, and deep tech. I am thrilled to be
able to explore powerful narratives within the scientific community
and amplify their voices to key players shaping the future of
technology. I am committed to advancing impactful ideas and
fostering collaboration across industries, communities, and
borders," says Kristina Cornèr.
"Exponential Science's mission is clear – we want to advance
research, innovation, and education of emerging technologies such
as blockchain, AI, quantum computing and much more. We want to
facilitate the safe and empowering adoption of these technologies
so that society can thrive and solve real-world problems. Kristina
will play a critical role in growing our partnerships and
fine-tuning our strategy so that we can make a real difference in
the emerging technology space. We are in an exciting growth stage
at the foundation and we look forward to bolstering our team of
experts further in the coming months," says Dr. Tasca.
This month, Exponential Science released its first study, which
aimed to quantify the environmental effectiveness of Bitcoin mining
bans by estimating the resultant carbon emissions from displaced
mining operations. Part of the study examined the effect of Bitcoin
mining bans in low-emission countries and found it could result in
a significant net increase in global carbon emissions due to
redirecting mining activities to regions with higher carbon
intensities. For example, a ban in Canada could lead to an increase of almost 6%,
or 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
