Soham Chanda (সোহম চন্দ)

I am a Herbert and Ruth Busemann Assistant Professor (postdoc) at the University of Southern California from 2024-2026 and will continue as an RTPC Professor (postdoc) until 2027. I obtained my PhD from Rutgers under the guidance of Chris Woodward. My CV can be found here.

Research interest

My research interest lies in symplectic and contact topology. In particular, I have used tools inspired from SFT to understand how changing fillings affect Floer theoretic invariants. This approach lets me leverage contact-geometric data of Legendrian to obtain results about Lagrangian manifolds and vice versa.
