**Nancy Marie Amato** ƙwararriyar masaniyar kwamfuta ce 'yar Amurka da aka san ta da bincikenta kan tushen algorithm na tsara motsi, ilimin halittu na kwamfuta, lissafi na lissafi da kuma lissafi mai layi ɗaya .  Amato ita ce Farfesa Abel Bliss ta Injiniya kuma Shugabar Sashen Kimiyyar Kwamfuta a Jami'ar Illinois da ke Urbana-Champaign .  Amato an san ta da jagoranci wajen faɗaɗa shiga cikin kwamfuta, kuma a halin yanzu memba ce a kwamitin gudanarwa na CRA-WP (wanda a da aka sani da CRA-W), wanda ta kasance memba a kwamitin tun daga 2000.

## Ilimi
Amato ta sami digirin farko na Fasaha a fannin Tattalin Arziki da kuma digirin farko na Kimiyya a fannin Lissafi daga Jami'ar Stanford a shekarar 1986.  Ta sami digirin MS a fannin Kimiyyar Kwamfuta daga Jami'ar California, Berkeley a shekarar 1988, tare da mai ba ta shawara Manuel Blum .  A shekarar 1995, ta sami digirin PhD a fannin kimiyyar kwamfuta daga Jami'ar Illinois da ke Urbana-Champaign a ƙarƙashin mai ba da shawara Franco P. Preparata saboda rubutunta na "Algorithms masu kama da juna don Convex Hulls da Matsalolin kusanci". 

## Aiki da bincike
Ta shiga Sashen Kimiyyar Kwamfuta a Jami'ar Texas A&M a matsayin mataimakiyar farfesa a shekarar 1995. An kara mata matsayi a matsayin mataimakiyar farfesa a shekarar 2000, sannan aka kara mata matsayi a shekarar 2004, sannan aka kara mata matsayi a matsayin farfesa ta Unocal a shekarar 2011.

A watan Yulin 2018, an nada Amato a matsayin shugaban sashen kimiyyar kwamfuta na gaba a Jami'ar Illinois da ke Urbana-Champaign, wanda zai fara daga watan Janairun 2019.  

Amato tana da sakamako masu yawa da suka shahara. Takardarta kan hanyoyin taswirar yiwuwar (PRMs) tana ɗaya daga cikin muhimman takardu kan PRM. Ta bayyana nau'in PRM na farko wanda ba ya amfani da samfurin iri ɗaya a cikin sararin tsarin robot ɗin.  Ta rubuta takarda mai zurfi tare da ɗaya daga cikin ɗalibanta wanda ke nuna yadda za a iya amfani da hanyar PRM ga motsin furotin, musamman naɗe furotin. Wannan hanyar ta buɗe sabon yanki na bincike a fannin ilmin lissafi .  Wannan sakamakon ya buɗe sabbin aikace-aikace masu yawa don wannan dabarar a fannin ilmin lissafi. Wata takarda da ta rubuta tare da ɗalibanta tana wakiltar babban ci gaba ta hanyar nuna yadda za a iya ƙididdige ƙididdigar yanayin makamashi na duniya, kamar ƙimar naɗewa da kinetics na yawan jama'a, don furotin daga yanayin ƙasa da aka ƙididdige ta hanyar hanyar da ta dogara da PRM ta Amato.  A cikin wata takarda, ita da wata ɗaliba sun gabatar da wata sabuwar dabara, kimanin naɗewar convex (ACD), don raba polyhedron zuwa kusan guntu mai convex.  Amato kuma tana jagorantar aikin STAPL tare da mijinta Lawrence Rauchwerger, wanda kuma masanin kimiyyar kwamfuta ne a jami'ar Illinois da ke Urbana-Champaign. &#x5B; ** &#x5D; STAPL ɗakin karatu ne mai layi ɗaya na C++.
