Gorapada Bera 

I am a Research Assistant Professor (postdoc) at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University from 2023-2026, mentored by Simon Donaldson. Previously, I received my Ph.D. at the Institut für Mathematik at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin under the supervision of Thomas Walpuski, where my research was supported by the Simons Collaboration on Special Holonomy in Geometry, Analysis, and Physics. 

Research area: My research area lies in differential geometry, mainly in the following topics:

• Special holonomy manifolds: Calabi-Yau manifolds and G2-manifolds

• Calibrated submanifolds: holomorphic curves, special Lagrangian submanifolds, associative and coassociative submanifolds

• Gauge theory: generalized Seiberg-Witten monopoles and gauge theory on Calabi-Yau and G2-manifolds
