Hello! I'm Amit, a third-year PhD student in the Theory group at MIT, where I am fortunate to work with Sam Hopkins and Kuikui Liu. I am grateful for the support of a MathWorks fellowship. In my first year, I was supported by an Akamai Presidential Fellowship.
I am broadly interested in probability in theoretical computer science.
Recently, I have been thinking a lot about Markov chains.
A list of my publications can be found here.
You can contact me at a[*]_r@[*].edu after replacing [*] with the last three letters of my name, and find me at 32-G578.
Before my PhD, I did my undergrad at IIT Bombay, where I graduated with a BTech with honors in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. While at IITB, I had the privilege of working with Niranjan Balachandran, Navin Goyal, Hariharan Narayanan, and Piyush Srivastava.
