Bio-sketch

Dr. Amita Sharma is an Assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics, Netaji Subhas University of Technology, New Delhi. Dr. Amita has completed her doctoral titled “Optimal Portfolio Selection Contemplating Risk Propensity of Investors in Stock Markets”, in 2016 from the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi followed by the M.Sc. and M.Phil from the Department of Operational research, Delhi University. Her Ph.D has been funded by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (INDIA) for five years. Her research in IIT Delhi focused on Portfolio Optimization where the aim was to construct optimal portfolios of financial instruments by building different optimization models based on investor’s behaviour towards reward and risk in investment. Over the several years, she encountered several intriguing topics of investment science and now possesses a good knowledge in the area of mean-risk modeling, second order stochastic dominance, robust optimization, fundamental/technical analysis, behaviour finance, application of machine learning tools in finance, among others.

Prior to joining the NSUT, Dr. Sharma has worked with the Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati for four years from 2016 to 2020 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Science and Mathematics. During her tenure at IIIT- Guwahati, she explored various applications of machine learning tools in the area of finance with the project students.

Dr. Sharma has awarded with a Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) Project titled ``Estimation of Financial Models Parameters using the Deep Gaussian Process Regression" under the SRG scheme, 2023-2024 (2 years).
