PJ Beaghton is an Honorary Principal Research Fellow in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, where he co-leads the Imperial College Network of Excellence in Financial Technology (FinTech). His research focuses on utilizing artificial intelligence to identify security threats in financial markets, particularly in the context of contagion across exchanges, products, and regions due to both intended and accidental disruptive shocks to electronic securities and derivative markets. Additionally, he performs forensic analyses of complex transactions in securities and derivatives to identify suspicious patterns linked to money laundering and other criminal activities. Dr. Beaghton has collaborated in research with Professor Austin Burt from Life Sciences on projects such as the Target Malaria consortium, employing reaction-diffusion systems and stochastic simulations to study vector population dynamics. His primary focus involves modeling the use of selfish genetic elements to genetically manipulate natural populations of mosquitoes that transmit malaria.
