Prof. Saeed Banaeian Far is a distinguished and forward-thinking researcher in applied cryptography, cybersecurity, blockchain security architectures, and emerging future-technology ecosystems, renowned for his interdisciplinary contributions that bridge information security, decentralized systems, and human–technology integration. Holding a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Communication Systems and Cryptography, he is currently completing his Postdoctoral Fellowship at Yazd University, funded by the Iran National Science Foundation (INSF), where his research focuses on the design of secure collaborative models for digital-twin ecosystems operating across heterogeneous blockchains without centralized authorities, laying foundational frameworks for resilient and scalable next-generation decentralized digital societies. His wide-ranging research spans cryptographic protocols, privacy-preserving computation, blockchain-based data auditing, decentralized identity and finance models, quantum-resistant security systems, AI-driven security governance, NFTs and dynamic NFTs, digital-twin intelligence, neuro-communication security, cognitive internet infrastructures, and conceptual architectures for silicon-free communication and the Internet of Brains (IoB). He is particularly recognized for pioneering ideas on integrating AI, blockchain, neuroscience, and communication technologies to support emerging concepts such as BioVerse ecosystems, cognitive human-machine communication, and secure decentralized Metaverse infrastructures. Throughout his career, he has earned multiple notable honors, including Best Paper Awards at ICWR 2025, ITQM 2022, and ISCISC 2022, reflecting his innovative scientific contributions and thought leadership. He is frequently invited to deliver expert talks and contribute to panels at leading cybersecurity, cryptology, and emerging-technology events, where he shares strategic insights on blockchain evolution, post-quantum and privacy-centric architectures, decentralized intelligence frameworks, and future security paradigms for human-integrated networks and cyber-biological ecosystems. In addition to his research achievements, he has built a strong reputation as a trusted expert evaluator in the global academic community, serving as a reviewer for over 60 high-impact journals across IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, and Nature-affiliated publishing venues, consistently contributing to the quality and integrity of scientific advancement in cryptography, blockchain, and future-tech security research. With an ambitious vision for the future, his work aims to shape secure, ethical, and interoperable digital worlds in which AI, blockchain, neuroscience, and human cognition converge, enabling the evolution of decentralized intelligent ecosystems and transformative technological innovations for society.
