Location: 3106 MSB
Start time: Tue, Feb 5 2019, 11:00AM

We will give an introduction to dynamical questions in contact geometry and embedded contact homology. If time, we will also discuss the role of open book decompositions in contact geometry. The talk will not assume any background in contact geometry.
