Roger Wattenhofer,[1] born in 1969, is a Swiss computer scientist, active in the field of distributed computing, networking, and algorithms.[2][3] He is a professor at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) since 2001. He has published numerous research articles in computer science[4][5] and a popular[6] book on Bitcoin.[7]

In 2012, Wattenhofer won the Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing, awarded annually at the SIROCCO conference.[8] Together with Christian Decker in 2014,[9] he uncovered that nearly 850,000 of the BitCoins lost by Mt. Gox could not have been stolen by malleability attacks, as claimed by Mt. Gox.[10][11] In 2017, he appeared in a movie about the Blockchain.[12]
