Personal Profile
Min Jie holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Minnesota, USA, where he studied under Professor Tianjun Li. Prior to joining HIMIS, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, subsequently taking up a position as Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His primary research interests lie in symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology.
Research Interests
• Lagrangean torus vibrations and their applications
• Symplectic topology and tangent contact topology of surface singularities
• Actions of finite groups
• Low-dimensional topology, symplectic structures on four-dimensional manifolds, and trisection theory
