Amita Malik

Amita Malik is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Eberly College of Science. Her office is located at 331 McAllister Building. She specializes in advanced mathematical research with a focus on number theory and related fields. Dr. Malik's work often intersects with algebraic geometry, analytic number theory, and combinatorics.

Her research interests include the study of elliptic curves, partition theory, modular forms, zeta functions, and geometric structures such as Apollonian gaskets and Ford circles. She explores topics like extremal primes, equidistribution of zeros, and divisibility properties of special number sequences. Her contributions bridge pure mathematics with applications in complex analysis and dynamical systems.

Dr. Malik's recent publications (2014–2025) reflect her deep engagement with these areas, addressing questions about Riemann ξ-function zeros, mock theta functions, and spatial statistics of fractal geometries. Her work often employs tools from harmonic analysis and algebraic geometry, demonstrating a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches.
