Connect with the Space Finance Institute for collaboration, inquiries, and engagement
The Space Finance Institute values dialogue with researchers, practitioners, regulators, journalists, and anyone interested in understanding the physical foundations of financial markets. Whether you're interested in collaboration, have questions about our research, or would like to invite us to speak, we'd love to hear from you.
Interested in collaborating on research projects at the intersection of physics, finance, and technology? We welcome partnership opportunities with researchers from all disciplines.
Contact via: See SSRN paper for author contact information
We're available for speaking engagements at academic conferences, industry events, and professional gatherings on topics related to market microstructure, physics, and finance.
Topics include: Light-speed constraints, HFT, market design, regulatory frameworks
Journalists and media professionals seeking expert commentary on market microstructure, high-frequency trading, or the role of technology in finance are welcome to reach out.
We can comment on: Market structure, latency arbitrage, technology, regulation
We work with regulators and policymakers to translate our research into practical insights for market oversight and regulatory frameworks.
Areas: Market fairness, access rules, infrastructure standards, disclosure requirements
Financial institutions, exchanges, and technology providers seeking expert analysis on latency, infrastructure, and market design challenges.
Services: Technical consultation, market analysis, infrastructure assessment
Universities and research institutions interested in partnership, joint research programs, or student collaboration opportunities.
Opportunities: Joint research, student projects, visiting scholar programs

Interested in receiving updates about new research, publications, and events?
We're developing a newsletter to keep the research community informed about our latest work, upcoming publications, and speaking engagements. In the meantime:
We're particularly interested in collaborations that:
Connect physics, computer science, economics, and finance in novel ways to address fundamental questions about market structure.
Utilize proprietary or hard-to-access datasets on market microstructure, latency, or trading patterns to validate theoretical predictions.
Translate academic research into actionable policy recommendations for regulators and market operators.
Explore emerging technologies (quantum computing, new network architectures) and their implications for financial markets.
If you have ideas for collaboration or access to resources that could advance this research agenda, we'd love to discuss opportunities. Please reach out via the contact information in our SSRN publications.
As a research organization focused on how physical distance affects financial markets, we embrace distributed collaboration. Our researchers work across multiple locations and time zones, and we're equipped to collaborate effectively with partners anywhere in the world.
Whether you're in New York, London, Tokyo, or anywhere else, distance is no barrier to productive research collaboration—though it might add a few milliseconds of latency to our communications!
