Amartya Banerjee

Ph.D. Student, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at UNC, Chapel Hill. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Harlin Lee and Prof. Caroline Moosmueller. I am also a member of Geometric Data Analysis @ UNC. Broadly, my research interests revolve around problems in Optimal Transport and Machine Learning, with applications in science and engineering. More specifically, I am interested in generative approaches such as flow matching and diffusion, along with geometric and stochastic algorithms for efficient learning and inference in high-dimensional data.

Prior to joining my Ph.D., I graduated with a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park followed by a Master's in Computer Science, also from UMD.

Fun Fact: I have an Erdos number of 3.
