Ma­chine learn­ing and ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence in the fin­an­cial in­dustry
I do qual­it­at­ive stud­ies of the ad­op­tion of ML and AI in the fin­an­cial in­dustry with an em­phas­is on the up­take in as­set man­age­ment and quant­it­at­ive trad­ing.
Fin­an­cial ad­vice and fin­an­cial so­cial­iz­a­tion
I study the his­tory of fin­an­cial ad­vice and ex­plore con­tem­por­ary de­vel­op­ments in on­line fin­an­cial ad­vice with an em­phas­is on new aren­as for fin­an­cial so­cial­iz­a­tion such as on­line trad­ing plat­forms and so­cial me­dia.
Cloud in­fra­struc­tures and big data man­age­ment
I study the mar­ket for cloud com­put­ing pro­vi­sion and the ma­ter­i­al polit­ic­al eco­nomy that shapes the ways in which com­pute is pro­vi­sioned to firms in the fin­an­cial in­dustry in par­tic­u­lar, but also to firms in oth­er in­dus­tries as well as vari­ous pub­lic and private in­sti­tu­tions.

My re­search helps us bet­ter un­der­stand the pos­sib­il­it­ies and chal­lenges of the wide­spread ad­op­tion of ML and AI in fin­ance

I research how emerging digital technologies (machine learning and artificial intelligence mainly) are adopted and leveraged in the financial industry. I do so through qualitative studies (interviewing mainly, but also archival studies). My research is located as the intersection of the Social Studies of Finance, Science and Technology Studies and Economic Sociology.
