SUMMARY:Pertinent discussion on "Youth Mental Health: Current Challenges and Ways Forward"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Psychology\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh have organized a Panel Discussion on “Youth Mental Health: Current Challenges and Ways Forward”. Convened by Dr Salome Divya Joseph\, Dr Janhavi Devdutt\, and Ms Ayesha Parveen Haroon\, the discussion will be held on March 24\, 2021\, at 2 PM. Prof V S Rao\, Vice-Chancellor\, will initiate the pertinent conversation and welcome the invited guests to the panel. \nProf Manoj K Sharma\, Professor\, Department of Clinical Psychology\, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences(NIMHANS)\, Bangalore\, will alarm the participants on “Pathways of Technology Addiction”. A kind of behavioural addiction\, Technology Addiction frequently impacts the teens and youth by impeding their regular tasks\, and social life. Thus\, recognizing the consequences of their addiction becomes necessary. \nAdvancing with the Panel Discussion\, Ms Ashwini N V\, Founder- Director\, Muktha Foundation\, Bangalore\, will speak on “Interpersonal Violence & Mental Health”. Exposure to violence make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems. Promoting psychological well-being\, Ms Ashwini will elaborately talk about the ways of protecting the teens from such risks. \nThe grim issue of “Self-harm Behaviours in Youth” will be addressed by Dr Nupur Singhal\, Chief Clinical Psychologist\, The Grey Circle\, Noida. Underlying concerns including anxiety\, tension\, loneliness\, and self-hatred often compels young individuals to harm themselves. Children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities are also at risk. Dr Nupur will alert the audience to protect the young adults from falling prey to this condition. \nFurther\, Prof Poonam Devdutt\, Director\, Centre for Psychology and Human Behaviour\, Shobit University\, Meerut\, will touch upon the significance of “Life Skill Education for Promoting Mental Health”. She will be stating the significance of imparting life skills education to the students with the intention of focusing on the needs of young individuals\, motivating them\, and enhancing their social and self-management skills. \nConcluding the discussion\, Prof A Kalam\, Dean\, School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (SLASS)\, SRM University-AP will express gratitude to the guests as well as the audience for addressing the stigmatic concerns pertaining to the mental health of the otherwise vibrant youth.

SUMMARY:Dr Chittaranjan Mishra to discuss "Fast pricing of multi-asset American options under jump-diffusion models"
DESCRIPTION:In the next chapter of Departmental Seminars Series\, Department of Mathematics\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh welcomes Dr Chittaranjan Mishra\, Department of Mathematics\, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar\, to deliver a lecture on “Fast pricing of multi-asset American options under jump-diffusion models” on March 24\, 2021\, at 3 pm. \nMulti-asset American options are interesting in many ways\, e.g.\, they give the holder the flexibility to exercise at any time up to maturity\, allow for risk diversification and for us\, these contracts are mathematically challenging to price due to the non-availability of a closed-form formula. When jumps are introduced to model underlying assets\, one will be required to solve a partial integro-differential complementary problem (PIDCP) for pricing these contracts. In these cases\, we find that computing sufficiently accurate option prices in real-time is extremely difficult. That is because the in hand PIDCP involves a multi-dimensional partial integro-differential equation with a non-local double integral term. Solving these multi-dimensional PIDCP by advanced numerical techniques\, such as a customized finite difference method\, is very time-consuming\, as the corresponding discretization matrices are huge in size. More importantly\, the integral approximation matrix is also dense\, posing a serious challenge to handle storage memory. Many efficient techniques are proposed primarily to handle the double integral term. However\, the required solving time is still not practicable for practitioners. \nIn our research\, we exploit the amazing parallel architecture of modern graphics processing units (GPUs) to solve computationally expensive scientific problems. Nevertheless\, resolving the problem at hand by employing a GPU is not straightforward. It requires one to overcome many bottlenecks\, such as in. In this work\, we have investigated these issues in order to achieve substantial speed-ups compared to a sequential FD implementation. \nMathematics enthusiasts are requested to avail this opportunity to listen to our distinguished speaker on March 24th\, at 3 pm.
