Research My research interest is symplectic/contact topology. It originates from the study of 'phase spaces' in classical mechanics, where one considers the space encoding both the location and the momentum of the particles, though nowadays people studying this subject have gone much further. The word 'symplectic' is borrowed from ancient Greek which means 'complex' (I learned this from Professor Ivan Smith's ICM talk). More specifically, I'm focusing on some symplectic/contact invariants coming from microlocal sheaf theory, especially invariants of Legendrian submanifolds and Lagrangian submanifolds. I'm a student of Professor Emmy Murphy and Professor Eric Zaslow. |
