Yu-Shen Lin

Yu-Shen Lin is an Assistant Professor at Boston University, affiliated with the Geometry and Physics research group. His research focuses on Enumerative Geometry, Differential Geometry, and Mirror Symmetry, with a particular emphasis on SYZ conjecture, Calabi-Yau manifolds, and Lagrangian submanifolds. Lin’s work bridges algebraic geometry and mathematical physics, often involving tropical geometry and geometric analysis.

His education includes a PhD from Harvard University (2013). He has been supported by NSF grant DMS-2204109 and a Simons Collaboration grant. Lin supervises students like Sam Bardwell-Evans and Sidharth Soundararajan. He co-organizes the BU Geometry & Physics Seminar and Boston Algebraic Geometry Day, fostering academic collaboration.

Recent research trends include scattering diagrams in log Calabi-Yau surfaces and special Lagrangian submanifolds, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach. His publications span advanced topics like gravitational instantons and wall-crossing phenomena, contributing to foundational theories in geometric analysis and mirror symmetry.

Lin actively organizes workshops, such as the Boston University/Keio University/Tsinghua University Workshop on Geometry and Mathematical Physics, and has contributed to conferences worldwide. His work highlights the interplay between algebraic geometry and physics, addressing fundamental questions in enumerative geometry and geometric structures.
