Younghan Bae


I will be on the job market in Fall 2026 .
I am a Postdoc (Donald J. Lewis Research Assistant Professor) at University of Michigan with Alexander Perry and Aaron Pixton. I am also a visiting fellow at Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS).
Before this, I was a Postdoc (supported by SNSF Postdoc.Mobility grant) at Utrecht University with Martijn Kool and I was a PhD student of Rahul Pandharipande at ETH Zürich.
My CV can be found here.

Research Interests

I am interested in moduli spaces arising from algebraic geometry, including moduli spaces of curves, moduli spaces of sheaves, Picard stacks, abelian fibration, Calabi-Yau 4-folds and intersection theory.
