S. Sarah Zhang is an Assistant Professor at the Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, where she conducts research at the intersection of finance, technology, and market microstructure. Her academic work spans traditional financial markets analysis and emerging fintech applications, with a particular focus on high-frequency trading systems and data-driven financial services.
Dr. Zhang's research interests center on market liquidity, price discovery mechanisms, high-frequency trading dynamics, and the evolving landscape of open banking and data privacy regulations.

Recent research has increasingly focused on the societal implications of financial technology, including racial disparities in mortgage markets and the impact of privacy regulations on banking operations.
Her scholarly output shows a clear evolution from traditional market microstructure research toward the intersection of finance and information technology. Early work examined high-frequency trading and price discovery mechanisms, while more recent publications address open banking, API adoption, and data privacy legislation. This trajectory reflects the broader transformation occurring within financial markets as digital technologies reshape traditional banking and trading practices.
