Prof Juho Kanniainen's pages  Juho Kanniainen is Professor of Financial Engineering at the Department of Computing Sciences in Tampere University. Juho's research agenda is focused on statistical computing and data science in finance and risk management. He has published on financial markets, high-frequency finance, financial networks, derivative pricing, and financial econometrics. In his research, he is not only using traditional stochastic calculus, but also modern data science approaches, namely complex networks techniques and machine learning methods with rich data sets. Dr. Kanniainen has published in prestigious journals in Finance and IT, including Review of Finance, Journal of Banking and Finance, and IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems. He has been coordinating two international EU projects, BigDataFinance and HPCFinance. Kanniainen is heading a research group on Financial Computing and Data Analytics at the Tampere University. Recent Highlights  Trading Too Expensively in the FX Market? To appear in Quantitative Finance With Milla Siikanen and Ulrich Nögel "We empirically show that, on average, traders obtain a relatively tight spread with four or five streams; the use of more streams yields a marginal benefit only. Moreover, most of the traders could—at least in theory—reduce the average spread by more than half with the optimal combination of streams, and a trader could save significantly, even up to 0.18 basis points in dollars per 1EUR traded."
