Members of the Geometry/Topology Group at MSU work in many different fields and have expertise in a diverse set of techniques. We have lively and well-attended seminars, and one of our key goals is the cross-pollination of ideas between geometry and topology.

Our faculty consists of active researchers in most areas of geometry and low-dimensional topology including smooth 4-manifolds, symplectic and contact topology and geometry, the theory of pseudoholomorphic maps, geometric PDE, knot theory and its invariants, mapping class groups, and geometric variational theory.

Our faculty is highly-regarded. Many have NSF Grants, two are coprincipal investigators of FRG's, and last year our group was awarded our second RTG Grant from the National Science Foundation.

The Geometry/Topology Group at MSU has a long-standing commitment to excellence in graduate and postdoctoral training: we have produced some outstanding graduate students, and we have been fortunate to have recruited and mentored exceptional postdoctoral fellows.
