About me
Dr Juho Kanniainen is a Professor in Computing Sciences at Tampere University (TAU), Finland. He leads the research group focused on Financial Data Science. With a wealth of international leadership experience, Dr. Kanniainen has served as the director and coordinator of two large EU projects: HPCFinance and BigDataFinance. In his capacity as the head of multi-member international consortia, he has successfully secured a total of 7.5 million euros in EU funding for these pioneering initiatives.
Juho's research agenda centers on machine learning, statistical computing and mathematical modeling for time-series analysis and graphs, with a emphasis on limit order book markets and information cascades. This interest spans financial market research and other contexts as well.
His papers have been published in top-tier journals, including IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Pattern Recognition, and the Review of Finance. He has organized several conferences and served as a co-editor for the book entitled High-Performance Computing in Finance: Problems, Methods, and Solutions, Chapman and Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics Series.
