Ameya Rege is an Assistant Professor at the Applied Mechanics and Data Analysis (AMDA) group at the Department of Mechanics of Solids, Surfaces & Systems (MS3). He studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Mumbai in India and thereafter went on to get a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Southern California in the USA. He then joined the Department of Continuum Mechanics at the RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany and graduated with a Doctorate in Engineering (Dr.-Ing.).

Ameya then joined the Institute of Materials Research at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne as a post-doctoral associate and in 2021 established the research group on Atomistic to Microstructure Simulations of Aerogels. After heading the group at DLR for nearly four years, Ameya joined the faculty at the University in Twente in 2024. Ameya was also a visiting scholar at the Cardiff University in the UK under the HPC-Europa3 Award from the European Commission. Since 2022, he has also been appointed as a visiting Senior Lecturer at the School of Computer Science and Mathematics of the Keele University in the UK. Since 2025, he is also an adjunct Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology at Roorkee, India.
