Martin Magid will investigate timelike and spacelike                       surfaces in Lorentz space. The primary motivation for studying                  these surfaces comes from physics and the theory of general                     relativity. He intends to use the Gauss map to achieve a deeper                 understanding of these surfaces. Timelike surfaces can be used to               construct spacetimes and to understand the geometry of spacetimes               by providing lower dimensional examples.                                             The Gauss map of a spacelike surface has its range in the                  Grassmannian of spacelike two dimensional planes in Lorentz                     space. Magid will investigate to what extent such a surface is                  determined by its Gauss map and which maps are Gauss maps. He                   will also consider surfaces for which the image of the Gauss map                has constant curvature. His second project is concerned with the                classification of timelike surfaces with zero mean curvature                    which are given as the graph of a function.
