European Institute of Management and Perpetuals Launch Doctoral Research Group Focused on AI in Financial Markets
Perpetuals and EIM are forming a multi-year doctoral research group to develop AI-driven trading models using proprietary market data.
- More than 20 EIM doctoral researchers will work on sophisticated AI trading models at a leading AI trading company
- The hands-on, multi-year initiative builds on Perpetuals’s existing AI research pipeline and will use proprietary behavioral trading datasets and live venue data
The EIM doctoral students will work alongside Perpetuals’s leaders developing sophisticated AI trading models that combine machine learning with crowd intelligence to surface unique market insights. With direct access to Perpetuals's proprietary trading datasets and live venue data, the EIM researchers will focus on behavioral finance, trader performance classification, market microstructure, and model risk, allowing them to develop real-world applications.
The EIM researchers will further bolster Perpetuals’s team of award-winning developers, giving the company access to some of the field's most promising doctoral talent.
The initiative is expected to run for at least three years, broadly reflecting the duration of the doctoral research cycle. Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals and Professor of Practice in Quantitative Finance at EIM, will help lead the group. More than half of the researchers participating in the group are currently employees of Perpetuals.
"Working with a renowned academic institution like EIM gives Perpetuals even more engineering firepower,” said Gruhn. "Adding these doctoral researchers to our data science department creates an unrivaled team building entirely new and powerful AI models that will reshape trading worldwide."
"This collaboration creates an opportunity to examine important applications for using real-world financial-market data and infrastructure,” said Prof. Dr. Michael Neubert, Head of Institution at EIM. "There's real value in working alongside a company like Perpetuals, which is pioneering new AI models in financial markets. Our objective is to conduct rigorous doctoral research that contributes to the academic understanding of financial AI, including its performance, limitations and risks, while exploring how research findings can translate into practical applications.”
