Leadership Team

ZFC Research is steered by domain experts who fuse academic rigour with real-world infrastructure execution. The team’s mandate is simple: generate defensible breakthroughs and validate them at scale.

Scientific depth · Protected IP · Infrastructure-backed validation.

Core Leadership

Chief Executive Officer

Research Governance

Ethics & Safety Board : reviews experiments with dual-use or societal risk.
IP Review Panel : stages disclosure timing, patent filings and defensive publication.
Reproducibility Gate : internal replication before any external release.
Security Oversight : continuous threat-modelling for lab environments.

Advisory & Collaboration

Academic Advisory Network

A rotating panel of professors, PhD researchers and allied institutes guides our programme reviews, joint grant bids and selective publications. Their cross-disciplinary input—spanning cryptography, distributed systems and quantitative finance—shapes experiment design, risk posture and peer-review strategy.

ZFC Systems Interface

A dedicated liaison team orchestrates secure access to the full capacity of ZFC Systems campuses—multi-megawatt sites scaling toward exascale clusters. They align power, cooling and zero-trust controls so our lab prototypes can be deployed at production depth, gathering real-world telemetry while preserving IP isolation and safety constraints.

Additional appointments will be announced as programmes scale.
