Bianca Trovò is a Doctoral (PhD) candidate at the Life Sciences Division of CEA (French Atomic Commission) Saclay, France, and at the Faculty of Science, University of Sorbonne, Paris, France. Concerned with meta-science and the improvement of scientific practices through validation and incentives, since 2020 she has also been working on applications of the blockchain technology for open science and new community-driven standards. She co-founded and designed Ants-Review, a protocol for incentivizing scientific peer-reviews on Ethereum for which her and her teammate won in April 2020 the first prize at the ETH Turin hackathon for the concept and implementation. Between July-August 2020 she was a Fellow in the KERNEL program (Genesis Block), an 8-week invite-only incubator sponsored by Gitcoin and ConsenSys for top tech talent looking to build community, products, and companies in the blockchain and Web 3. The whole protocol was finally published as a conference proceeding paper in the chapter “Ants-Review: A Privacy-Oriented Protocol for Incentivized Open Peer Reviews on Ethereum” of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNCS, volume 12480), March 2021. Recently, she was hosted by BJKS Podcast where in the episode 17 “Ants-Review, rethinking peer review, and blockchain” she talks about her journey between academia and web3.
