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
