Deeparaj Bhat

Deeparaj Bhat serves as a J.F. Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University, specializing in geometric topology and mathematical physics through advanced theoretical frameworks.

• PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), supervised by Prof. Tomasz Mrowka
• Bachelor's degree, Chennai Mathematical Institute (2016-2019)

His research centers on low dimensional topology, investigating 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds through gauge theory—particularly Floer homology—and symplectic/contact topology. These interconnected fields utilize differential geometry and algebraic structures to solve problems in manifold classification, with implications for quantum field theory and string theory. His work bridges pure mathematics and theoretical physics, focusing on invariants derived from partial differential equations.
