Dr. Pranay Kumar — Assistant Professor of Finance
Understanding Finance. Exploring Markets. Empowering Decisions.
I am an academician in Finance with interests in financial markets, investment analysis, cryptocurrency connectedness, portfolio management and financial analytics — bridging finance, data and artificial intelligence.
As part of my interest in making finance practical, I have put together a set of financial calculators — I encourage you to explore them and share your feedback.
What I work on
My teaching and research sit at the intersection of markets, methods and machines — from cryptocurrency connectedness (my doctoral focus) to applied financial analytics and AI-assisted investment research.
