Thomas Butler

Biography

Professor Tom Butler's PhD MSc research focuses on the application of artificial intelligence technologies for governance, risk, and compliance in the financial industry. From 2013-2018, Tom was the Principal Investigator of Ireland’s Governance Risk and Compliance Technology Centre. In the latter role, he led a multidisciplinary team of knowledge engineers, information systems and legal researchers conducting research and development (R&D) of AI technologies to enable financial institutions to manage regulatory compliance and operational risk. His R&D activities saw him engage closely with global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) and regulators such as the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This research continues with two Research Fellows based at UCC and with financial institutions and professional services firms in the UK and US. Tom was also a member of the Expert Group on Regulatory Obstacles Financial Innovation (ROFIEG) at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) and continues his association with fellow experts, whose recommendations on financial technology (FinTech) strategy inform EU policy.

In a broader context, Tom's research focuses on risks that information technologies pose to society: in areas from information and cybersecurity, to the adverse health effects that wireless technologies exert on humans, he engages with independent researchers globally across a range of disciplines. This focus on environmental risks builds on his tenure as a Government of Ireland Research Fellow focusing on environmentally sustainable technologies or Green IT.

Tom authored 225 publications, which includes 80 full papers, 84 conference papers, and 11 inventions. His research sees him ranked in the top 2% of scientists by discipline globally by Stanford researchers Ioannidis, J. P., Boyack, K. W., & Baas, J. (2020). Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators. PLoS Biology, 18(10), e3000918.

Tom has garnered over €8.7m in research funding. He is considered a global thought leader in financial and regulatory technologies (FinTech-RegTech) and technology risk.
