Naageswaran Manikandan

I am currently a postdoc at Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics at Bonn.

My research centers on low-dimensional and symplectic topology, with a particular focus on knot homology theories, especially Khovanov homology, knot Floer homology, and their generalizations; as well as the study of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves and their applications in symplectic geometry.

I completed my PhD under Prof. Dr. Chris Wendl at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, affliated to Berlin Mathematical School (BMS). I obtained my masters degree in mathematics from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, affliated to Berlin Mathematical School (BMS). I worked with Prof. Dr. Chris Wendl on the intersection theory of punctured psedoholomorphic curves for my masters thesis.
