3. Postdoctoral Program - MSRI

Gadbled, Agnes
Golovko, Roman
He, Jian
Agnes received her Ph.D. from the Université Louis Pasteur de
Strasbourg in 2008. While at MSRI, Agnes described families of
monotone symplectic manifolds constructed via the symplectic cutting
procedure of Lerman from the cotangent bundle of manifolds endowed
with a free circle action. She also gave an obstructions to the monotone
Lagrangian embedding of some compact manifolds in these symplectic
manifods. The results appeared in the paper “Families of monotone
symplectic manifolds constructed via symplectic cut and their Lagrangia
sbmanifolds.” After her stay at MSRI, Agnes resumed to her
postdoctoral position at the Institut de Mathematiques de l‟Universite de
Neuchatel.
Roman completed his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California in
2009 under the supervision of Ko Honda. His dissertation was titled “The
sutured embedded contact homology of S1xD2.” While at MSRI,
Roman continued thinking about properties and computations of the
relative versions of contact homology and embedded contact homology.
Some of his computations were submitted for publication. In addition,
Roman started a collaboration with Oliver Fabert, Joel Fish, and Katrin
Wehrheim working on applications of the theory of polyfolds. This
work is in preparation and will be published in a few months. After his
stay at MSRI, Roman accepted a 2-year postdoctoral research position at
the Universite de Montreal/UQAM.
Jian He received his Ph.D from Stanford University in 2006 under the
supervision of Professor Yakov Eliashberg. His dissertation
was titled “Symplectic Field Theory of Subcritical Stein Manifolds”
In his time at MSRI, Jian continued his work on computing
the correlators and descendants of subcritical Stein manifolds.
While at MSRI, Jian had many fruitful discussions with
Professor Yakov Eliashberg, Kai Cieliebak, Joel Fish and
Oliver Fabert, resulting in the preprint "Genus zero correlators
of subcritical Stein manifolds". After leaving MSRI, Jian accepted
a postdoc position at Université Libre de Bruxelles.
