Anming Gu

I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas, Austin, advised by Kevin Tian. Previously, I completed my B.A. in Computer Science at Boston University, where I was fortunate to work with Edward Chien and Kristjan Greenewald on applied optimal transport for machine learning.

I'm interested in optimal transport and its applications to log-concave sampling, robust statistics, and differential privacy. More broadly, I'm interested in problems at the intersection of probability theory, theoretical computer science, and machine learning.
