It’s more high level, but this article from Amber Group could be interesting to some folks - Navigating Zero Knowledge (medium)
More generally crypto oriented lectures, but two on ZK as well (originally shared by DZLZV on the ZK telegram channel
Dan Boneh’s course at Stanford includes three lectures on thetopic, with publicly available notes: CS 251 Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technologies: Syllabus (posted to telegram group by Alex P)
