Hi! My name is Amanda and I'm a CS Ph.D. Student at UT Austin where I'm afiliated with the Theory Group. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Professor Anna Gál, and I like probability theory, combinatorics, and computational complexity theory.

I love listening to music of almost any genre. My favorites are probably postpunk, metal, shoegaze, jazz, and techno/EBM (or any combination of these). But I don't like country or reggae. A long while ago I used to draw and paint quite a lot, and I was also a ballet dancer in my past life. (I still love to take class whenever I have the time.) Recently, I've also been trying out rhythmic gymnastics and contortion.
