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 PhD advisor is Prof. Jun-Muk Hwang. 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;
  • deformation theory of rational curves in complex manifolds; and
  • geometry of spherical varieties.

Currently, I am working on

  • isotropy irreducible varieties and contact geometry (in preparation).

Here is my curriculum vitae.
