Amit Kumar Gupta
I was a PhD student in Mathematics at UC Berkeley, leaving with an MA in 2012.
I studied Mathematical Logic and Set Theory, focusing on Combinatorial Set Theory.
My advisors were John Steel and Stevo Todorcevic; I also worked with Leo Harrington.
I have a B.Sc. with High Distinction in Mathematics from the University of Toronto.
