I am thinking about several topics related to holomorphic curves: super-rigidity in the context of SFT; certain Lagrangians/symplectic surfaces in certain four-manifolds; symplectic mapping class groups; and some questions about symplectic fillings and cobordisms. I am also interested in symplectic enumerative geometry.
My bachelor's thesis project and research was on Teichmüller theory while my master's technical transversality issues in holomorphic curve theory.
Apratim and I are organizing a Holomorphic foliations and symplectic fillings seminar,
I am running the exercise sessions for Prof. Wendl's SFT course.
I am part of the team organizing the European Kylerec this year!
Some things I (co)organized in the past:
Image of Hopf fibration by Richard Hennigan.
Poincaré's homology sphere, taken from W. Threlfall and H. Seifert 's classic topology book.
Image depicting a Calabi-Yau manifold, origin unknown (please tell me if you know for credits).
