معرفی
Ben Lowe is a Dickson Instructor and NSF Postdoc at the University of Chicago. Previously, he was a graduate student at Princeton University under the supervision of Fernando Coda Marques. His research focuses on geometric rigidity phenomena across diverse settings, including differential geometry, minimal surfaces, hyperbolic geometry, and dynamical systems. He is actively exploring topics such as scalar curvature, k-surfaces, and locally symmetric spaces.
Research Interests:
- Differential Geometry
- Minimal Surfaces
- Hyperbolic Geometry
- Dynamical Systems
- Scalar Curvature
- k-Surfaces
- Locally Symmetric Spaces
His work emphasizes rigidity in geometric contexts, with recent contributions addressing asymptotic Plateau problems, entropy of minimal surfaces, and spectral gaps in hyperbolic manifolds. He is preparing for the tenure-track job market in 2025.
