Cornell University Professor Fei Wang to be first participant in OceanEx research program

OceanEx, a cryptocurrency exchanges launched by BitOcean Global in 2018, today announced that Professor Fei Wang’s Research Lab at Cornell University has been selected as the first research partner of the OceanLabs Research Award Program.

Aiming to support blockchain research, OceanEx launched OceanLabs in June 2019 to collaborate with academic research laboratories and incubate high-quality projects. OceanLabs introduced its first “Research Awards Program” to fund research in the technology industry with a focus on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and related areas.

“OceanEx is dedicated to providing our users with a secure, transparent and continuously improving digital assets trading service. While our technology team conducts significant in-house research, we are delighted to support academic institutions and researchers across the globe. After carefully reviewing through hundreds of submitted applications, we were deeply impressed by Professor Fei Wang’s proposed research on Reserving Threshold Prediction with Dynamic Trading Graph Analysis. We are honored to collaborate with Dr. Wang’s lab to further the cause of the security and reliability of cryptocurrency exchanges as we have always been committed to.”
