Research Statement

Professor Harder studies algebraic geometry, using tools from Hodge theory and addressing mathematical problems with roots in physics. His Ph.D. thesis focused on applications of tools from mirror symmetry to classify Calabi-Yau threefold admitting K3 surface fibrations. His post doctoral work studied Landau-Ginzburg models, from categorical and Hodge theoretic perspectives. Currently, his work studies aspects of holomorphic symplectic geometry, tropical geometry, and their interactions with Hodge theory, as well as studying relationships between Feynman integrals and period functions of algebraic varieties.

Biography

Professor Harder received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Queen’s University at Kingston in 2009 and 2011 respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta in 2016, after which he was a research assistant professor at the University of Miami as part of the Simons Collaboration in Homological Mirror Symmetry. He joined the faculty at Lehigh University in January 2019.
