RESEARCH & IDEAS
How do financial systems preserve knowledge, adapt and evolve?
My research focuses on the interaction between institutions, trading strategies and human behavior in complex financial systems. I am particularly interested in how markets retain, lose and rebuild knowledge, and when these processes are better understood as system-level adaptation rather than simply the accumulation of individual choices.
