Govind Ramnarayan received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2020, supervised by Elchanan Mossel. His research interests lie primarily in the intersection of combinatorics and statistics, concretely in applications of these fields to coding theory and algorithmic inference. He currently works as an algorithm designer and software engineer at Neural Magic, a startup in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, which produces software to accelerate neural network inference on CPUs. In his spare time, he enjoys walking and biking around the Boston area, and trying new restaurants.
