I am Jiewon Park, a fifth year graduate student in the MIT Math Department. My advisor is Tobias Holck Colding.
I am interested in differential geometry.
Here is my CV (last updated 10/28/2019).

Other Activities

I mentored two undergraduates in the MIT UROP+ program in the summer of 2017 - one project on the equivariant first Chern class, and one project on self similar solutions of the vortex filament equation (or binormal flow) and the curve shortening flow.
I co-organized the Pure Math Graduate Student Seminar (PUMAGRASS) during 2016-2017.
