About the Foundation

Exponential Science was founded and is led by Dr. Paolo Tasca and Nikhil Vadgama, and is also composed of leading industry and academic experts from across the globe.

The foundation was born out of the founders’ desire to accelerate adoption of exponential science across industries and academia, and to tackle some of the key issues facing a more rapid growth as identified by their work.

The Exponential science foundation is a global, distributed organisation. It’s in our DNA - much like the technology we promote.

Dr. Tasca is a Professor at University College London digital economist specialising in distributed systems and is founder of the UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies, one of the oldest and largest academic research centres in the blockchain field. He has served as a special advisor on blockchain technologies for numerous government and industry stakeholders in the world including the EU Parliament, the United Nations, and various central banks worldwide.

Nikhil Vadgama is Programme Director of Financial Technology at the University College London, Department of Computer Science. He is also the Deputy Director of the UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies. He has worked with global stakeholders from government, industry and central banks. His commercial experience spans numerous roles in the fintech, real estate and education sectors. Most recently he was Chief Data Officer of a new challenger bank called Twig.
