Yong-Geun Oh

Yong-Geun Oh is a Professor at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Director of the IBS Center for Geometry and Physics in Korea. His research focuses on Symplectic Geometry, Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems, and Mirror Symmetry, with significant contributions to Floer homology and Kuranishi structures.

• Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (1988) from the University of California, Berkeley, under Alan Weinstein.

Research Highlights: Pioneering work on Lagrangian intersection Floer theory, spectral invariants of Hamiltonian flows, and applications to symplectic topology. Collaborated extensively with K. Fukaya, H. Ohta, and K. Ono on foundational research monographs.

Teaching: Taught courses like Math 426: Introduction to Differential Geometry (Fall 2021).
Editorial Roles: Serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Gokova Geometry and Topology (since 2007) and the Journal of Mathematics of Kyoto University (since 2009).

Scientific Awards:

• Bernard Friedman Memorial Prize in Applied Math (UC-Berkeley, 1988)

Publications: Authored or co-authored influential books and papers on Floer homology, Kuranishi structures, and symplectic topology, with notable works published in 2008, 2015, and 2020.
