Luke Kowalczyk

I'm currently the Head of Quantitative Research at IEX, where we work on developing innovative exchange products for US equities and options trading.

Before IEX, I did cryptography research at Columbia University. My PhD advisors were Allison Bishop and Tal Malkin, and I served as the illustrious "Head of Cyber" for the Crypto Lab of the Columbia Computer Science Department. Check out my crypto publications here:

I am a captain emeritus of the Columbia Ski Team. I love skiing.
