Business & Finance

From Startup to Fintech, Stevens Covers the Financial Landscape

Digital technology has transformed the global business landscape — and Stevens is helping businesses and consumers understand how.

Powered by the leading-edge Hanlon Financial Systems Center’s computing tools and our NSF-supported Center for Research toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT) collaborations with business, academia and industry, we are developing tools to enhance, regulate and understand high-speed and high-frequency trading; predict equities movements; stress-test markets in order to avert potential contagion or collapse; and optimize risk management.

Our faculty also conduct important research to understand the human side of business decisions and market movements, including explorations of bias, leadership, gender equity, labor force participation, cryptocurrency, human-computer interaction and the use of AI in business and finance.
