Kyler Siegel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Southern California. He is a visitor at Seoul National University for the Fall of 2025. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at Columbia University and an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow specializing in pure mathematics. His research interests primarily focus on symplectic geometry and its intersection with smooth topology, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics, particularly in string theory. He enjoys studying complex algebraic structures arising from pseudoholomorphic curve invariants within Floer theory and symplectic field theory. His work also investigates the intricate interactions between quantitative symplectic geometry and complex algebraic geometry. Siegel has received funding from the National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation to support his mathematical research activities.
