Research Interest

I primarily study the geometric objects that are related to variational problems, such as minimal surfaces (area functional) and harmonic maps (energy functional). In particular, currently I am interested in the following topics related to them:

  1. Existence and regularity theory
  2. Geometric properties and application to other geometry problems
  3. Min-max constructions
