Philip Treleaven is Director of the UK Centre for Financial Computing & Analytics and Professor of Computing at University College London. Twenty years ago, Philips’s research group developed much of the early fraud detection technology and built the first insider dealing detection system for the London Stock Exchange.

For the past 12 years, his research group has developed algorithmic trading systems with many of the world’s leading investment banks and funds, and for the past 4 years they have worked on HFT trading risk and systemic risk with the Bank of England and FCA.

Philip’s current research includes the application of blockchain technology to financial “algorithmic regulation”.
