About

Maximilian Goehmann recently completed his PhD in Management at LSE, specialising in Information Systems and Innovation.

His research examines how artificial intelligence and automated trading systems interact with imperfect financial data, and how seemingly minor data errors can develop into wider risks to market stability.

Combining quantitative market-data analysis with qualitative research, he develops practical insights for the governance and regulation of AI-driven financial markets. His work has informed evidence submitted to the UK Parliament Treasury Committee’s inquiry into AI in financial services and was supported by an LSE Phelan US Centre PhD Summer Research Grant.

Maximilian also holds an MSc in Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation from LSE and previously studied Diplomacy and Data & Systems Analysis at the University of Oxford.
