Lafayette native helps teach the future of AI and blockchain

A Lafayette native who spent nearly two decades building a career in Asia is now helping shape how college students understand the future of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and digital assets. Northside High School graduate Don Jayamaha , Class of 2004, recently returned to the United States after nearly 18 years living and working in Asia. Today, he serves as head of digital assets and tokenization at Delshah Capital, a New York-based real estate investment firm. Earlier this month, Jayamaha was invited to serve as a guest lecturer at Stony Brook University's College of Business, where he addressed students enrolled in BUS 381: Blockchain & Digital Assets, the university's first blockchain-focused course. During the Nov. 2 lecture, Jayamaha discussed how real-world assets, including commercial real estate, are being moved onto blockchain networks through tokenization. He also introduced students to the concept of Web4, which he describes as the convergence of artificial intelligence agents, blockchain technology and tokenized assets. While universities across the country increasingly offer certificate programs focused on artificial intelligence, Jayamaha believes few, if any, for-credit courses currently teach Web4 as a standalone concept. The presentation impressed course instructor Professor Danling Jiang, who has already invited Jayamaha to return
