I think of myself as a geometer, though I would not be able to tell you exactly what I mean by that. Currently, I am thinking about several topics related to holomorphic curves: some equivariant transversality problems in SFT; certain Lagrangians/symplectic surfaces in certain four-manifolds; and understanding symplectic fillings and cobordisms of contact manifolds after some sort of surgery with more amenable holomorphic curves, not just discs. I have also spent some time to understand some recent advances in Gromov-Witten theory and virtual cycle techniques. My bachelor's thesis project and research was on Teichmüller theory while my master's on foundational aspects in holomorphic curve theory.
I finished my Phase I and have officially become a PhD student, yay. (SoSe24)
I am part of the organizers for the following meeting of the Berlin and Barcelona grad schools. (SoSe24)
The BMS student reps, which I am a part of, are organizing this student conference. (WiSe23)
This semester we are running a GW theory seminar. There is a preliminary part for masters students to give some more general talk and then some talks going to the meet of it from the symplectic and algabraic perspective. (WiSe23)
Check out this seminar that a friend and I are running on the geometric-topology on 3-manifolds. (WiSe22)
