Dirac Operators and Applications to Scalar Curvature
The Dirac operator is an important tool for studying scalar curvature. We will introduce Dirac operators and the index theorem for Dirac
operators. Following this, we will focus on some applications to positive mass theorems and scalar curvature problems.

Lecturer Intro
I am interested in geometric analysis and general relativity. More specifically, I am working on problems related to scalar curvature and geometric problems from physics. I enjoy applying the tools from PDEs, especially elliptic PDEs, to study geometry.
