Research summary
Modern financial markets are evolving rapidly in response to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and high-frequency trading. These advances bring new challenges—from market volatility to cyber threats—that demand rigorous research. As Canada Research Chair in Finance and Technology, Dr. Vincent Grégoire is exploring the intersection of finance and technology across four themes: using machine learning and big data in finance research, assessing AI’s impact on market efficiency, enhancing the cyber-resilience of financial systems, and analyzing the effects of high-frequency and algorithmic trading.
He and his research team are developing advanced tools for analyzing large financial datasets, improving research replicability using AI, and proposing strategies to safeguard markets from cyber risks. Their multidisciplinary approach will generate valuable insights for policy-makers, regulators and investors seeking to ensure that financial markets remain secure, efficient and resilient in the era of digital transformation.
