Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler is a fictional character on the CBS sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. Played by actress Mayim Bialik, she is a neurobiologist with a Ph.D. from Harvard University.

Initially introduced as a potential match for Sheldon Cooper via an online dating site, Amy quickly evolved into a significant character and Sheldon's eventual girlfriend and wife. Their relationship, though initially awkward and scientifically based, blossoms into a deep and meaningful bond.

Amy's character development throughout the series involves navigating social situations she often struggles with, forming close friendships with Penny and Bernadette, and discovering her own identity and confidence. She is known for her high intelligence, unconventional social skills, and eventual embracing of her femininity.

Bialik's portrayal of Amy was widely praised, earning her multiple Emmy Award nominations. The character's evolution from an outsider to an integral part of the group is a key element of the show's later seasons.
