Sebastian Petric's doctoral thesis focuses on using machine learning methods to understand, identify, and predict financial crises and their impacts on markets and investment strategies. His research aims to develop systems that not only detect potential financial turbulence but also guide investment strategies. By leveraging machine learning techniques such as predictive modeling, and unsupervised learning techniques, his work seeks to create data-driven approaches that identify and forecast crises and inform more resilient and adaptive investment decisions. The research underscores the critical need to understand the complex dynamics of financial crises to enhance risk management and optimize investment strategies, providing valuable insights for financial experts, policymakers, and the broader public.
