Digital Signal Processing Engineering May Help Prevent Flash Crash in Financial Markets

NJIT Professor Ali Akansu, PhD, wants to prevent another flash crash on Wall Street. An electrical and computing engineer who is an expert in the relatively new field of adapting signal processing to strengthen the security of finance markets, he fights to be heard. Among his weapons are frequent talks to colleagues at IEEE events. He believes that by using new technology—like digital signal processing (DSP) engineering--another flash crash, like the one in 2010 that almost destroyed world-wide financial markets, need never happen again.
