Lee, Yuan-Pin
Distinguished Research Fellow and Director
Research Fields: Algebraic Geometry, Mathematical Physics,
My current research interests are in the general areas of algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. More specifically I am working on Gromov–Witten theory and its relations with and applications to birational geometry, Hodge theory, K-theory, symplectic topology, integrable systems, representation theory, and mirror symmetry.
