Hello everyone! My name is Ameya Velingker, and I am a third year PhD student in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am advised by Venkatesan Guruswami and Gary Miller, and my research interests are broadly in the area of theoretical computer science. Specifically, I am interested in the theory of error-correcting codes, pseudorandomness, algorithms, and computational geometry.

In 2011, I completed the Master of Advanced Study in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge under the support of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. Prior to that, I received an AB in Mathematics and SM in Computer Science (supported by a Siebel Scholars Award) from Harvard University in 2010.
