Projects

My research projects involve using analytics, econometrics, applied statistics, and mathematics, data-driven methods, and machine-learning algorithms to solve business problems. Currently, with Jorg Osterrieder and Jos van Hillegersberg, Marcos Machado runs the research project "Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Finance" jointly with ING Group as part of the Kickstart AI initiative. In the ING Group (ING) - University of Twente (UT) Cooperation, we have been working on different topics:

  1. Applications of synthetic data generation for Finance
  2. Research on risk management-related topics
  3. Privacy-enhancing techniques for storing and analyzing confidential data
  4. Federated Learning
  5. Applications of Reinforcement Learning in Finance
  6. The value of innovation projects in Finance
  7. The use of the "meta labeling" technique (tailored to non-HFT strategies)
  8. Early warning systems for credit risk
