Murad Farzulla

Independent researcher. I founded Dissensus, a research lab working on stability, alignment and friction in systems where competing interests generate structural conflict — financial markets, multi-agent AI, political institutions. The through-line is adversarial: I am interested in what holds when the parts of a system are not trying to agree.

My current work centres on multi-agent AI and measurement validity: which apparent coordination effects survive controls, and what a model's output actually allows us to infer. The finance work develops the same habit through event studies, volatility models and systemic-risk measurement.

MSc Finance Analytics, King's College London — Merit, awarded April 2026. BSc Accounting & Finance, SOAS University of London — First Class Honours, 2024. I completed BlueDot Impact's Technical AI Safety and Frontier AI Governance courses in July 2026.

The current CV (September 2026) and publication ledger hold the professional record. The multi-moment cryptocurrency event study is forthcoming in Digital Finance; papers under review and preprints are labelled separately.

What this site is for

Papers state conclusions, and they are the wrong place to describe how the conclusion was reached — a journal will not print the pass where the result died, and it should not have to. But that pass is usually the part worth reading, so it goes here: what a control changed, what a check killed, where a number turned out to mean something other than what it said.

The bias of the writing is toward the negative cases, because those are the ones that are hard to publish and cheap to hide. A result that dies under checking is the checking working.
