Research
Publications, talks, and the questions I keep coming back to.
Interests
My background is in physics, and most of what I work on sits where mathematics meets implementation. Three threads run through it:
Cryptography — implementation & study
I study cryptography by implementing it. Recent labs cover the short integer solution problem (SIS), the number-theoretic transform, and an IOP-style proof system (a Baby-Ligero prover). The goal is to understand the primitives before reaching for libraries — the writing collects those notes.
Complex systems
Emergent structure in networks and large interacting systems — how local rules produce global behaviour. This includes applying network analysis to domains outside physics, such as the structure of legal codes.
Econophysics
Statistical-physics methods applied to markets and economic systems — distributions, scaling, and the dynamics of agents under incentives.

From Interview to Compromise: A Case Study of a Targeted Web3 Supply-Chain Attack
Ramon Garcia Seuma
Procedia Computer Science — iSCSi 2026, International Conference on Industry Sciences and Computer Sciences Innovation, Azores, Portugal (May 20–22, 2026) · Elsevier (ScienceDirect) · 2026
Accepted — forthcomingA detailed case study of a targeted supply-chain attack delivered through a Web3 recruitment workflow. The attack leveraged social engineering via professional networking platforms to distribute a malicious development environment, ultimately enabling command-and-control (C2) communication and potential remote code execution. The analysis is based on a full forensic dataset — packet captures, extracted C2 streams, and a snapshot of the malicious project environment — to reconstruct the complete attack chain from initial contact to payload execution. The paper compares the observed techniques with previously documented campaigns targeting job seekers and proposes practical detection heuristics for developers and organizations operating in the Web3 ecosystem.
A market model for exploitation and cooperation using the Minority Game
Ramon Marc García Seuma
MSc Thesis — IFISC (UIB-CSIC), supervised by Pere Colet · 2019
PublishedThe Minority Game, the mathematical formulation of Brian Arthur's "El Farol Bar" problem, embodies basic market mechanisms while keeping mathematical complexity to a minimum. Agents seek to differentiate from competitors and end up in the minority group. This thesis analyses a model for market dynamics based on the Minority Game and extends it to explore market features, cooperation and competition.
