Jens Lausen

Dr. Jens Lausen is a Researcher at the Department of Business Information Systems within the Faculty of Economics and Business at Goethe University Frankfurt. Affiliated with the Chair of e-Finance under Prof. Dr. Peter Gomber since February 2017, he completed his doctorate in October 2021 on digital financial markets and investor protection. His research bridges finance, information systems, and regulatory technology with a focus on empirical market analysis.

His academic credentials include:

• Master's degree in Economics and Management with Finance specialization from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (January 2017), graduating as top student in his cohort
• Doctorate (Dr. rer. pol.) from Goethe University Frankfurt (October 2021) on "Market Organization and Investor Protection in Digital Financial Markets"

Lausen's research centers on Market Microstructure, Financial Regulation, and Decision Support Systems, employing computational methods like agent-based modeling and machine learning. His work analyzes market fragmentation, crowdfunding dynamics, and misconduct detection in financial intermediation, frequently published in leading finance and information systems journals.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2024) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Regulatory impact assessment using textual analysis and machine learning, (2) Market microstructure evolution in fragmented securities markets, and (3) Behavioral dynamics in crowdfunding platforms. His work consistently applies computational techniques to regulatory challenges in digital finance.

As core member of Prof. Gomber's e-Finance research group, Lausen contributes to Frankfurt's financial technology research ecosystem. The team maintains strong industry connections with European financial institutions and regulatory bodies, focusing on practical applications of market microstructure theory and regulatory technology solutions.
