For the Fall 2009 Semester I am on leave at the Korean National Insitute of Mathematical
Sciences. My office is located at Building 25 Room 106C of Seoul
National University, Korea.
My CV.
about me: I'm a third year graduate student and teaching assistant
in the
mathematics department at
UW
Madison. My mathematical interests involve attempting to
(better) understand the more analytic
side of symplectic geometry, especially contact homology and floer
theory. My advisor is
Yong-Geun Oh.
Before my life as a graduate student I spent a year
as a foreign exchange student at the Technische Universität Berlin. I
earned
my bachelors degree in mathematics and minored in German
at
the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. A long time ago I went to the Illinois
Mathematics and
Science
Academy. Among
other things I enjoy the color purple, knitting, swimming,
speaking german, vegetarian food, and travelling. I helped run
the
2009 Graduate
Student Conference in Topology and Geometry. I am also running the
Women in Mathematics
at Wisconsin group this year. See my cats do
manifolds!
