Legendrian knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

My research mainly focuses on symplectic topology and low-dimensional topology. I
am interested in studying structures in symplectic and contact geometry (Weinstein
manifolds, contact manifolds, Legendrian and transverse knots), especially through
holomorphic-curve techniques. One particular interest is extracting topological information
about knots through cotangent bundles, and exploring relations to topological string
theory. I have also worked in Heegaard Floer theory, quantum topology, and
Articles written by Duke faculty are made available through the campus open access policy. For more information see: Duke Open Access Policy
