Welcome to the website of Minseong Kwon (권민성; 權玟成).

I am a postdoctral researcher at Gyeongsang National University (경상국립대학교), mentored by Kyeong-Dong Park (박경동). Within this year, I will move to Morningside Center of Mathematics in Chinese Academy of Sciences.

I received my Ph.D. from KAIST in August 2025, under the supervision of Jun-Muk Hwang (황준묵). (Thesis title: Parameter spaces of conics in adjoint varieties and Luna-Vust theory.)

My research focuses on Lie-theoretic methods in complex geometry and in algebraic geometry. More specifically, I am interested in

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

The following papers are now in preparation:

Here is my curriculum vitae.
