Brian Harvie, postdoc

Brian er født og opvokset i USA. Han fik sin ph.d. fra University of California, Davis, under vejledning af professor Adam Jacob i 2021, og har siden haft postdoc-stillinger ved National Taiwan University (Taiwan) og Columbia University (USA).

Brian er medlem af Copenhagen Centre for Geometry and Topology med Niels Martin Møller som mentor. Hans forskningsinteresser ligger i krydsfeltet mellem differentialgeometri, partielle differentialligninger og matematisk fysik.

“One of the goals of my research is to understand inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF), which is a rule for expanding surfaces in a Riemannian manifold over time according to their curvature. Another recent research project is the application of IMCF to mathematical problems in general relativity, with a focus on classifying black hole solutions to the Einstein field equations. This research project appears to have further connections to the famous ADS/CFT correspondence in physics, and this interplay represents a potential future direction for his research,” forklarer Brian.

Uden for matematikken er Brian en ivrig løber, vægtløfter og lejlighedsvis vandrer.
