Recently, Lisa Traynor’s research has been focused on studying Legendrian submanifolds of contact manifolds and Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic manifolds. She is particularly interested in applying Morse-theoretic techniques to define invariants for these submanifolds and to study the existence of and obstructions to Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds.
