In this talk, we will discuss a result due to Gabai which states that a minimal genus Seifert surface for a knot in 3-sphere can be realized as a leaf of a taut foliation of the knot complement. We will give a fairly detailed outline of the proof. In the process, we will learn how to construct taut foliations on knot complements.
