Min Ju Lee

Dr. Min Ju Lee is an L. E. Dickson Instructor in Mathematics at the University of Chicago. Previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, she earned her PhD from Yale University under Hee Oh. Her research explores dynamical systems and geometric structures including hyperbolic geometry, homogeneous dynamics, ergodic theory, and higher Teichmüller theory.

Lee's work primarily investigates Anosov groups, geometric invariants in hyperbolic manifolds, and measure rigidity in homogeneous spaces. Recent publications demonstrate deep exploration of limit sets in hyperbolic 3-manifolds, ergodic decompositions, and classification of invariant measures. Her mathematical approach integrates topological methods with geometric analysis to address problems in orbit closure theorems and spectral properties.

Publication trends show consistent focus on the intersection of dynamical systems and geometric group theory, with increasing attention to measure-theoretic aspects of group actions and higher-rank generalizations of classical theorems. Her work frequently employs techniques from Lie theory, fractal geometry, and thermodynamic formalism.

Lee maintains an active presentation schedule at international conferences including talks at IHES, ICERM, and Oberwolfach workshops. Her collaborative network spans institutions including Yale, ETH Zurich, and the Korean Institute for Advanced Study.
