  Oguz Durumeric His interests include the following: Global Riemannian Geometry.  Geometric and regularity properties of limit metrics in the sense of Gromov and its applications to Geometry.  Curvature, volume and topology relations, Finiteness Theorems, and study of injectivity radius.  Maximization of normal injectivity radius of submanifolds, particularly for the thicknesses of ideal knots in 3-space.  The ideal knots are of special interest in the research of large molecules such as DNA.  More information (including his CV and preprints) can be accessed at his Home Page.
 
   
  Hao Fang His interests are in geometry, especially geometric analysis, spectral invariants and applications to algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. Home Page
     
 
   
  Erin Pearse His research revolves around the study of complex dimensions. This is an extension of real-valued dimensions like Hausdorff or Minkowski/box dimensions. Richly structured sets (like fractals) typically have an infinite sequence of complex dimensions, and these may allow one to study connections between the geometry and spectrum of the set. I am especially interested in how the complex dimensions describe the "geometric oscillations" (that is, the oscillatory behavior of the tube formula) of a set, and how this can be used to study the curvature of fractal sets. This theory touches on harmonic analysis, dynamical systems, geometric measure theory, and convex geometry.  Dr. Pearse is a VIGRE post-doctoral fellow.  Home Page

  Lihe Wang His research is concerned with nonlinear partial differential equations and geometric evolutions. Examples include nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations and flows of surfaces with their curvatures. Home Page
