Welcome to my personal website!

I am Minseong Kwon, a graduate student at Dept. of Mathematical Sciences in KAIST. I am also a student research assistant at Center for Complex Geometry in IBS. My Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Jun-Muk Hwang. I defended my Ph.D. dissertation on April 3rd, 2025, and I am expected to receive my doctoral degree on August 15th, 2025.

My research area is complex geometry and algebraic geometry. More specifically, I am interested in

  • complex contact geometry of nilpotent orbits;
  • rational curves on complex manifolds; and
  • geometry of spherical varieties.

The following papers are now in preparation:

  • Homogeneous Legendrian subvarieties of adjoint varieties (pdf of an old version).
  • Conics on rational homogeneous spaces (with Nicolas Perrin).
  • Hyperbolicity of adjoint linear systems on spherical varieties (with Haesong Seo).

Here is my curriculum vitae.
